Dmitry Orlov goes back with San Jose Sharks\u2019 draft pick Alexander Karmanov.<\/p>\n
\u201cI met him back when I was still playing for Carolina,\u201d Orlov recalled to Sport 24\u2019s Dmitry Erykalov<\/a>. \u201cHe used to come into our locker room. I look at him and think, \u2018Kid, who are you?\u2019 I thought maybe he was a basketball player.\u201d<\/p>\n Karmanov \u2014 the Sharks\u2019 recent 7-foot-1 seventh-round pick \u2014 would\u2019ve been playing Triple-A hockey in Pennsylvania at the time.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd he says, \u2018I play hockey in America,\u2019\u201d Orlov shared. \u201c\u2018Good for you,\u2019 I said. Wished him luck. And it\u2019s kind of funny that now, before the season, we\u2019ll be at the same camp. We\u2019ll see how it all works out for him.\u201d<\/p>\n Karmanov should be at San Jose Sharks\u2019 camp before returning to the North Bay Battalion for his second OHL season. He\u2019s committed to Penn State University for the 2027-28 season.<\/p>\n In this far-ranging interview, Orlov also discussed the Shakir Mukhamadullin trade, Yaroslav Askarov, his thoughts on adding Darnell Nurse and Jacob Trouba, trying to get Artemi Panarin to come to San Jose, his respect for Macklin Celebrini, and how much he\u2019s enjoying life in California.
