Dmitry Orlov explains why he believes Evgeny Kuznetsov's tenure with Capitals ended so poorly: 'I think the relationship with the coach had an effect'
Briefly

"Of course, we discuss things, share them with each other - although sometimes you keep your worries to yourself. But I think the relationship with the coach had an effect. When he trusts you, you see it, and it's very important. But when something worries you and you withdraw into yourself, close yourself off... it starts to bother you. Especially for such an open guy as Zhenya."
"That's why I was glad to see him smile in Carolina. He had a tough season, which, in general, didn't work out. But he came to the Hurricanes with new strength, emotions, and focus. He tried to bring his own twist to our systemic game."
