Russian defender Dmitry Orlov via social media commented on his exchange of “Capitals of Washington” to the Boston Bruins.
On Thursday, the capital club traded Orlov and forward Garnet Hathaway to Boston in a three-way deal. The 31-year-old defenseman played 686 games with the Capitals and scored 256 points (60 goals + 196 assists) with a +104 utility rating.
– I never thought this time would come…it’s really hard to leave the team that chose me and where I played in the best league in the world…Washington was my family and my second home for 11 years…I’ll never forget how I got there in the Capitals and of course the biggest accomplishment is winning the Stanley Cup with the team. Thank you to all partners, organizations and, of course, supporters. I will never forget you, ”wrote the hockey player.
