Let's all just pretend Sorokin doesn't exist
Until he’s in the United States, he doesn’t exist.

Very plausible that the Islanders see a much better return on investment in terms of goaltending performance by just trading to upgrade that defence, rather than trading for any actually available goaltender out there.
Let's double down and take Paul Martin too? He hasn't fallen off a cliff or anything, just that he's expendable with the youngsters Heed and Ryan playing so well.Dell from SJ, seems to be a player who could take the next step. Could likely be had for a goalie swap plus a second. Maybe another pick/prospect but I think he would be worth it.
heard that theyll try and trade him failing that they may non tender him because his ask is over 5MBit off topic, but what do you think the Sabres do with Lehner (RFA), thought I read the GM doesn't even like him that much.
why would i need to apologize for believing our own GM over you?I’ll take that as an apology and accept it.

get over yourself
did you ever stop to think that the kid tells his russian fans one thing and he tells garth snow another as a negotiating ploy?
of course you havent.
the fact that he's playing in russia wouldnt make him want to keep his employers happy would it, lest the ship him to Siberia......
meanwhile he tells garth he'll only cover over for an NHL only contract
Garth has said he said that all along DUH
It was the way you came at me and was so sure. Answer with “wrong”. When I follow Sorokin very closely and then saying “islanders fans think they know everything”
All you had to do was say” there was an interview were Garth said...... “ and then ended it with “ where did you hear that about Sorokin?”
I was joking about the apology thing. Seems you’re a bit upset by the fact that you made a poor judgment and statement and ended up with egg on your face.
NO not at all its just the utter lack of common sense you displayed
agents and players play this game with GM's in all sports. its called negotiating, so I take everything they say with a grain of salt, and ask myself whats his ulterior motive, whats the story behind the story. because since Neiderreiter Ive seen more baseball-style tactics in hockey negotiations than ever before

Also there’s something call the cba. There is no negotiating tactics needed because Sorokin can only sign and ELC which means you can’t just pay him whatever he wants. So when you said it’s all about the money you made no sense. The only thing Sorokin can negotiate is tell Garth he will sign only if he’s guaranteed to play in the NHL. Sorokin told islanders news when he was here for camp a few years ago that he would have no problem playing in the AHL if the islanders thought he wasn’t ready.
As far as Sorokin telling the islanders one thing and the Russian media another that’s pure speculation and can’t be proven. Maybe Garth told Joe and Evan the wrong thing. Or maybe he didn’t. Are we going start guessing on who’s lying and who isn’t?
Isn't Dell a ufa this July?Let's double down and take Paul Martin too? He hasn't fallen off a cliff or anything, just that he's expendable with the youngsters Heed and Ryan playing so well.
Dell + Martin for Griess + a first or 2 2nds.
The cba doesn't stop him from only getting a one way deal.
....
He's just waiting till he's offered a one way contract. He's not gonna accept a 2 way split deal that pays him entry level plus bonuses on an ELC in the NHL and 75k in the AHL
Honestly, I think the habs are that desperate they’d consider it. And it is MB we’re talking about here lol
I'd do either of those, but definitely prefer the two seconds. He has a six team NTC, so I would imagine you guys would be a suitable destination.Isn't Dell a ufa this July?
I do not expect the isles to add another goalie until after the season.
Does Martin have a NTC? If not,I would hope the isles would have interest.
The higher of the team's two 2nd rounders + any of the Bridgeport blueliners not named Toews.Isles have some promising blue line prospects.
If SJ had no interest in blue line prospects, maybe Nelson + a 3rd?
I'd imagine they would target a defender instead of a goalie. Their defence is weak.
Isles glut of blue line prospects means they will need to trade some.I'd do either of those, but definitely prefer the two seconds. He has a six team NTC, so I would imagine you guys would be a suitable destination.
Good catch.I missed that. That then must be the reason.Actually it does. ELC is always two-way contract.
Sure Garth can quarantee Sorokin that he wont be put to AHL, but the actual deal will be two-way, for maximun dollars of $925 000. + performance bonuses (max. salary 2,85Mil per season). And since Ilja is 23 years old in the beginning of next season he would have to sign 2 year ELC.
I hope he goes over to North america next year, Im vety confident on him becoming NHL starter. Sure hope we fix our D before, since Ilja has faced average of just above 22 shots per game this season (sv%93,5. GAA1,39), and we know current Isles team defence will double that easily.
So when exactly would we trade Dahlin for Tavares?? Between draft and July 1st?? or after Tavares signed a extension with NYI??
