Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYI] G Ilya Sorokin signs extension with the Islanders (8 years, $8.25M AAV)

[TheBeard]

The money doesn’t seem high for one of the 5 best goalies in the league east. Don’t know why anyone would have an issue with this.

Maybe he took a paycut so Engvall could play

 

[KingPuckChoo]

best goalie in the league right now, i don't care

good job isles!

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

I think he gets more but that would be amazing. He’s worth every Penny

Surprised they went the full term but he’s worth it. Best goalie in the league right now unless Vasi gets back to his peak (and he’s only up there due to playoff performances). Igor is great too but too up and down compared to Sorokin

Boy were you wrong

I was off 2 years lol

 

[MasterofGrond]

That’s a good deal.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Thank you Sorokin for keeping Igors price down next year! You have no idea how much you helped the Rangers

 

[TF1970]

Fantastic work by Lou. I thought he would get $10-11 next season whether it was NyI or hitting the market.

 

[PensandCaps]

Scares me more than McDavid. Totally robbed a much superior Pens team in 2021.

I’d bet Igor gets 10

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Very good deal for the Islanders as Ilya Sorokin is arguably the best goaltender in the NHL and future Vezina Trophy winner.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I’d bet Igor gets 10

Maybe since he’s better, but likely 9.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Maybe since he’s better, but likely 9.

I don’t think he’s better but he’s a star player on a more popular team. Costs more money.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Huge signing. Isles goalies at set for years.

Only Islanders haters would have an issue. This is a very fair deal for one of the best goalies in the league.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Wow….that’s a lot….good for both parties I guess.

 

[gritdash60]

Worst signing this far, jesus christ that is horrible.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Best signing of the day and it’s not close.

He needs the extra money to pay for all those headbands he wears.

HFBoards in a nutshell

And both takes are most likely wrong, too.

 

[dirtydanglez]

fair price. hes a key player for the isles

 

[Patagonia]

Slight overpay, not an unreasonable deal.

Crucial to the success of the team and among the best G in the league. Varley extended, he won't have too much wear on his body.

 

[bossram]

Nothing wrong with this deal. Sorokin is one of the few true elite goalies.

Lou's other signings today...woof.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Franchise player locked up long term. Congrats Isles fans.

Unlikely. Signing a franchise player long term almost always works out.
