Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

He just didn't fit and was promised a few things that just weren't likely or maybe even possible for him to accomplish in the Canes system. Hindsight probably says both teams regret the signing to a degree. 

 

That all being said, the dude played his ass off and could hip check someone into a different dimension.

I'm not going to go so far as to say his time in Raleigh was garbage because he had some big moments, and he never backed down from anyone. Matter of fact, he came to the defense of more than a few Canes players when no one else did. 

Do I think his contract was too big- yes. Do I think his defense got worse over the years- yes. Do I think he should have stayed- no. 

But I cannot write the guy off as a complete waste and bad-mouth him out the door. He admits to the mistakes he made and I think the small language barrier takes some of his words out of context.

We're better than that.

I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula. 
 

“need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too. 
 

sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed.

But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.

Ehhh im not mad either way I don't think hes garbage but he was and is overpaid.... but he was a skating turnover machine.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
