The San Jose Sharks have signed defenseman Dmitry Orlov to a two-year contract worth $13 million. Orlov will count $6.5 million against the salary cap through the 2026-27 NHL season.

San Jose Sharks add experience by signing two defensemen who are Stanley Cup champions, arriving from the Carolina Hurricanes and St. Louis Blues.

INFO: The Sharks need to add depth wingers after parting ways with pending restricted free agents Klim Kostin, Noah Gregor, and Nikolai Kovalenko, and Eyssimont’s no-nonsense style fits in with the identity the Sharks want to create.
