History

2007-08: Spent the season with Mettalurg. Appeared in six games with Russia's U18 squad at the WC.

Talent Analysis

A talented, smooth skating offensive defenseman. Having a knack for the net is a bonus for him as it's becoming more and more important in the "new" NHL getting some production from the blue line, and Orlov can do it thanks to his smart shooting choices and his hockey intelligence, though some additional power in his slap shot would be welcome. A capable skater, he won't get outskated by the speedy lines.
