Canes Sign Dmitry Orlov

Eh… not a big fan of this move.

He’s the gritty defensive defenseman everyone wanted. He’s exactly what this team needs. Defensively he’s better than Skjei and if we add Karlsson and TDA then you’ve replaced the offensive production that Brady brought.

I know fans get attached to players but the Canes have a number on long term deals and they aren’t going to go over that number, even for guys like Pesce and Skjei.

We still have a year left on both of them. They are more integral to our success than people think.

Pricey. Rather seen that money go to a top offensive scorer. Which we didn’t get and looks like we won’t. Too bad.

Orlov is miles better than pesce at defense and scoring. He was the number 1 FA on the market. We got him. This guy and Bunting make us much much better. 
 

trade pesce for a scoring forward, sign Tony D and that is a team that SHOULD win the cup.

We were ok on defense, sure Orlov is good and will improve defense to a degree. but that change won’t win us the cup. still waiting for the offensive scorer to fill our biggest weakness. I’d like to see us pick up Karlsson who will get big money, or maybe Killorn for a couple years, though he will get top dollar and demand a longer contract- at his age I don’t see it.

yeah Im eagerly awaiting how we handle our next moves. No more scoring forwards means no cup for us and the same bullshit will repeat itself.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
