San Jose Sharks Sign Dmitry Orlov $13M, Re-sign Colin White

Defenseman Dmitry Orlov, formerly with the Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes, has signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the San Jose Sharks. Orlov was part of a major 2023 trade that brought him to Boston, where he contributed significantly during the regular season and playoffs before becoming a free agent in 2023. The Sharks have also re-signed forward Colin White to a one-year, two-way contract; White spent most of the 2024-25 season with the Sharks' AHL affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda, and appeared in three NHL games. White has accumulated 113 points in 323 NHL games across several teams and has represented the U.S. in international competitions, winning multiple medals. The Sharks finished last in the NHL's Pacific Division in the 2024-25 season but have promising young talent, including top draft picks Macklin Celebrini and Michael Misa. The team is working to rebuild with a mix of experienced players like Orlov and White and rising prospects.
