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.
