Dmitry Orlov

Dmitry Orlov wanted to retire with the Capitals, believes Alex Ovechkin knew about deal to Boston beforehand

The Washington Capitals dealt Dmitry Orlov to the Boston Bruins at the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline after the Caps had played their way out of playoff contention and could not come to terms with Orlov on a contract extension.

Orlov spoke about that move and how he feels about it now that multiple months have passed in a Russian-language interview with Sport-Express published on Thursday. He also answered questions about his upcoming unrestricted free agent status and if he plans to go back to Russia this summer at any point.

Here’s noted bird-man, Evgeny Kuznetsov, eating ice cream while sitting in a tree

Evgeny Kuznetsov just provided us the best content of the offseason and it’s not even officially the summer yet.

Saturday morning, Kuznetsov and his close friend Dmitry Orlov went bicycling on the Mount Vernon Trail. Kuznetsov was very prepared for the trip, showing off his large helmet and fancy bike in an Instagram video posted by Orlov.

Once they got to Gravelly Point Park, the two 2018 Stanley Cup champions appear to have found a food truck. And that’s when it happened.

Boston Bruins expecting to possibly keep just one of Dmitry Orlov, Garnet Hathaway, or Tyler Bertuzzi

The Boston Bruins went all-in at this past trade deadline as general manager Don Sweeney managed to put together a team that won a league-record 65 games and posted a league-record 135 points. That same team was then unceremoniously dumped out of the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs by the lowest-seeded team in the Eastern Conference, the Florida Panthers.

Now, Boston is going to face the consequences of adding so much to their roster in a salary-cap-driven NHL. They won’t be able to keep all of the pieces that allowed them to set the records that they did.

The main additions that look like they could be headed elsewhere this summer include former Capitals Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway as well as former Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi.

Dmitry Orlov wants to return to the Capitals: ‘How I see, if they trade me, I don’t think it’ll work out, but we’ll see’

The Washington Capitals dealt Dmitry Orlov to the Boston Bruins at the trade deadline after the two parties couldn’t come to an agreement on a contract extension. National media reported that the two sides were far apart due to the term of a new deal.

But the marriage between the Capitals and Orlov may not be over after all, at least if it’s up to Orlov.

While speaking during Bruins’ Breakdown Day, Orlov said he’d like to sign with either Boston or Washington as an unrestricted free agent over the summer, but he wasn’t sure at the moment if either would be an option.

Dmitry Orlov on playing with the Bruins: ‘I am happy that now I get great pleasure from hockey’

Since being traded by the Capitals, Dmitry Orlov has gone to another level with his play as a member of the Boston Bruins. Though he appeared in nearly twice as many games with Washington this season, the Russian blueliner had one more goal (4 to 3) and tallied just two fewer points with the Bruins (17 to 19). Orlov also earned NHL First Star of the Week honors during his first full week with his new team, earning the nickname Bobby Orr-lov from Bruins fans and media.

In a Russian language interview with TASS’s Rustam Sharafutdinov, Orlov admitted that being traded by the organization that drafted him and spent his first 11 seasons with was difficult, but playing with the Bruins, the greatest team in modern-day regular-season history, made the transition as smooth as possible.

Now with Boston, Dmitry Orlov says he was against Peter Laviolette constantly scratching Alex Alexeyev

Washington Capitals defenseman Alex Alexeyev hasn’t had the easiest rookie season in the world. The 2018 first-round draft selection began the season injured, rehabbed, spent a majority of the season as a healthy scratch, and only recently has become a consistent presence in the Capitals’ lineup.

That newfound stability in the lineup was brought on by the team moving two veteran, left-handed defensemen at the trade deadline. One of those defenders was Alexeyev’s good buddy Dmitry Orlov.

Orlov did an interview with Sport24 correspondent Daria Tuboltseva after his move to the Boston Bruins and talked about Alexeyev’s new role. He says he was not a fan of Caps head coach Peter Laviolette constantly making Alexeyev a healthy scratch.

Brad Marchand on Garnet Hathaway and Tyler Bertuzzi’s trades to the Bruins: ‘All the guys I hate are now on our team’

The Washington Capitals traded Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov to Boston ahead of the trade deadline and both have fit in instantly with the Bruins. Orlov has seen an offensive explosion which earned him First Star of the Week honors and the nickname Bobby Orrlov, while Hathaway’s gritty, passionate play has matched perfectly with the Bruins’ rough-and-tumble style.

The Bruins also landed forward Tyler Bertuzzi at the deadline, getting the gritty goal-scorer from the Detroit Red Wings for a first-round pick.

Known pest, Brad Marchand, had a personal reason for liking the trades. He no longer has to play against Hathaway and Bertuzzi, two players he formerly hated.

There’s a nice chance an ex-Capital will win the Stanley Cup

Folks, it’s looking unlikely that the Washington Capitals will win the Stanley Cup in 2023. If you need to take a moment to process this news, we will wait.

On the bright side, it’s looking increasingly likely that the eventual Stanley Cup-winning team will include at least one former Washington Capitals player. I think this is fun and good news, but I know opinions may differ.
