Capitals' Dmitry Orlov: Signs one-year deal

Orlov finalized the terms of a one-year contract extension with the Capitals worth $2.57 million Wednesday.

Analysis:

Orlov is the one young player on Washington's blue line, which made this deal somewhat inevitable. Last year, the 25-year-old averaged just 16:02 in ice time per game. Fantasy owners can likely expect an uptick in game action for the defenseman, which will increase his fantasy value heading into the 2016-17 season.
