The San Jose Sharks have signed Dmitri Orlov to a 2-year contract with a cap hit of $6.5 million.
Even after this signing, the Sharks sit slightly below the salary floor of $70.6 million, so they will have another move or two to come.
Orlov joins Mario Ferraro and Vincent Desharnais on the left side of the Sharks defense, with Shakir Mukhamadullin, Henry Thrun and Sam Dickinson also competing for space.
Orlov, 33, had 6 goals and 22 assists in 76 games for the Hurricanes last season.
