Value of: Ilya Sorokin to Edmonton?

[SeanMoneyHands]

Just curious what it would take. He would be a good goalie for them for the future but I know he's seen by many as arguably the best up and coming goalie today.

Why would the isles trade him?

 

[bsu]

Why....

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Yeah, you're not touching our goalie, pal.

 

[Wanderson]

Not for sale

 

[boredmale]

You'd be better off asking for Varlamov.

Edmonton doesn’t have the trade chips to make this happen. Nothing is really of use that’s on that team (and in the system) except that McDavid guy and his buddy Leon. Both of which are too high of value (and contract) to make a trade that works.

In 2 years when he’s available.

Both Sorokin and Varly have played really well.
Zero reason why the isles would trade 25 yr old Sorokin and keep 33 yr old Varly.

While I don't see it happening this summer, if Islanders really need capspace, Trading Varly for futures and finding somebody making roughly half of what he does could open up 2-3M

 

[Foppberg]

No.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

You can have Georgiev, he wants out as well.

Varlamov will not be on the Islanders a year from now. He will be traded before the draft, or maybe even at the deadline.

It always depends on the goalie market and while Sorokin has been one of the best goalies outside of the nhl and played really good his first nhl season it’s still a small sample size. Doesn’t really make any sense for the isles to trade him as he’s their best shot on a future franchise goalie.

Starts with Holloway and goes up. You’ll Probably want to shop at a less expensive store.

This actually could happen. It's well known that Lou Lamoriello doesn't place a high value on goaltending, so he could be swayed by the offer of some small, offensive defenseman.

After this season at the earliest if all goes well and Sorokin is willing to take the reigns. Sorokin however isn’t getting traded for the dumpster fire package they’d probably offer in return.

Barzal needs a shooter. Sorokin for that McDavid guy (with 75% retention because he got hurt a couple times). You get the goalie and the Isles get someone who will shoot. Chiarelli isn’t the GM anymore sadly so this would never happen.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

How about Shestyorkin to Carolina? Or Vasilevsky to Colorado?

 

[saintunspecified]

If NYI were to trade Sorokin, he'd probably be in Colorado now, because they have what NYI need. Edmonton does not. Also, NYI's depth in goal consists in the strong NHL tandem. There's nobody else in the organization of consequence.

In a few years when Draisaitl wants out.

Leon for Sorokin + Dobson + picks.

Or Newhook. Either way, it's too late for that.
