Prospect Info: Isles Prospect Talk PART XI

[PK Cronin]

If he wanted to come over he wouldnt have re-upped for three more years. Islanders cant wait for him. Get a goalie, package him in a deal. No reason to hoard him.

I could be wrong, but I think it has to do with his RFA status. if he waits longer to come over he won't have to wait as long to become a UFA or something. So he'll make more money now and be closer to choosing his own destination, should he not want to play for the Isles.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Sorokin, and I hope he comes over gets a real shot in September of 2018.

I expect to see Soderstrom come over and compete for a nyi spot in next season's training camp.

Thats The Plan Snow Suggested Crew.

Sorokin however feels he can make more money in the KHL and told snow he wants an NHL Job before he'll sign. He wants no part of the AHL.

Seems mighty convenient that halaks deal runs out in time or Soderstrom and Greiss runs out the same as Sorokin's. That has to be a coincidence right, Garth couldn't be that smart could he? Some of our fans just wanna hate him to hate him.

It's smart because we still keep their rights but don't hit the 50 contract limit which helps keep us flexible

Regarding his 3-year term. The Islanders can buyout his contract from the team he is playing for (IF they want).

I don't think they can anymore, it would circumvent the cap. Sorokin would have to do it himself

Do you think it will be nhl or nothing for Soderstrom? I had hoped if he was not nhl ready, that he would spend a season in Bridgeport.

Soderdtroms numbers this year are bad and sorokin has also taken back a cobsiderable step since 2015-2016. if that is our plan it isn‘t a good one.

The last thing we need to do is rely on another player who hasn't seen an ounce of NHL ice. Goaltenders take longer to develop and we shouldn't rely so much on Soderstrom and put him in the minors. After Halak leaves (which I'm assuming happens after this season), we should sign another goalie for 2 years, kinda like Steve Mason's deal with Winnipeg.

Putting the keys into Greiss and Soderstrom's hands is way too risky.

no I think ahl time is possible for soderstrom. i Just Get The Impression That Garth Just Wants Him Playing And Getting Experience. He'll Reevaluate Next Year For Sure.

Sorokin On The Other Hand, is all about the money.

there's always risk hosang. Either way. That's why he wants them playing. The more data the better but in an ideal world he's like them to force their way in the roster

How do you know that? The inside Islander info?

 

[72hockey guy]

How do you know that? The inside Islander info?

Just what former isles tell me. Its not like im inside The Building anymore. Even when I was I was just a go-fer. But even with that I still have friends who know I'm not a Mary Jane or a fan boy. I stay in touch and we laugh about the old days mostly but you'd be surprised how clued in they are. That the thing with them. Once an islander always an islander. I'm an old man now but to them im still the kid they knew and if they saw me I know they'd say go get me a pepsi.....

And id get it too old habits die hard. It's why I defend everything Islanders. They changed my life. the key is not to ask questions just let them talk. The most I ever say is they look good this year dontcha think?

Hmmm. "Former Isles."

So what you are saying, Garth Snow, who if he does one thing well is keeps things quiet, has through channels let you know that Sorokin wants money (pretty sure it is an NHL roster spot)? So Staple, all hockey writers/insiders, Mike freaking Bossy know nothing about the internal workings....but you do!!!

We are so lucky on these boards to have you provide the inside information

 

[Strummergas]

Hmmm. "Former Isles."

Ahem, "Coram Mafia" to you.

 

[Strummergas]

Anyone so sure about Soderstrom easily transitioning over to North America quickly and easily should read up on the relationship he has with his team and goalie coach and how they've gone out of his way to accommodate his needs. I'm not saying it can't happen, but there's more to it than learning a new language and getting a work visa.

 

[72hockey guy]

You Got It. Its really not inside Info. Its more Like gossip if you think about it. I just believe em because I always have

Thank you. I feel people are too PC to say what the ultimate issue is. Kudos to Garth for taking a chance, but he is far far far from a sure thing to even step foot here

By all accounts he's made significant strides in his playing career, which is quite impressive at the level he's on. But for him to flourish in an environment outside of his comfort zone, he's going to need a lot of support. I'm pulling for him.

 

[PWJunior]

I remember the gossip about how someone at a BBQ years ago heard how much Doug Weight hated Nino way before all the drama started with him. Oh wait, I only knew that because I had insider info from being a mod.

I'm completely pulling for him. I've never experienced what he has to push through. But I have read a few times that it is a bit of a challenge for coaching. I want him to be out goalie for the next 10 years. From what I read, I'm not entirely sure he is our goalie for even one year
