Dmitry Orlov said that he was glad to move to San Jose. The 33-year-old defenseman left Carolina and signed a 2-year contract with the Sharks with an average cap hit of $6. 5 million.
Yes, everyone understands that this is a reconstruction [in San Jose], but we have a lot of good young players. For me personally, this is a chance to change everything.
The last two years have been difficult psychologically. I just wanted to move away, start from scratch - with a new team and a new life. This will be interesting. I`m really glad it turned out this way.
I talked a little with the coaches and general manager about when they expect to make the playoffs. When you get there, you will better understand the system and what is expected of you. We just need to fulfill our responsibilities and help the young.
I wrote to Burnsy (Carolina defenseman Brent Burns, formerly of Sharks-Sports) and he gave me good advice about the organization. This helped me better understand where I was going.
He said that he really liked it there - both the area and the club. Everything is great for the family too. He is a family man, and I have a wife and a son who is becoming more and more interested in hockey every year. So it was important for us to find a good school so that he would feel comfortable too, ” said Dmitry Orlov.
