Player Discussion: Ilya Sorokin

[Sempiternal]

Any insight around when we can expect Ilya Sorokin over here in North America? Is it more a question of 'if' he comes over to North America?

Just wondering on your thoughts, as I only know him as a fantasy hockey prospect.

Thanks

2023

When he's 28? He's a stud right now. I was expecting after his current KHL contract but don't know when that ends.

I bet he just can't wait to be an Islander, what with the de-lux treatment Garf has waiting for him.

1. Needs to attend lots of meetings.
2. Will need to penetrate the pre-existing 3 goaltender wall in front of him.
3. If he is the best goaltender, he will still have to wait until Garf is done "showcasing" Halak.

You forgot soon to be UFA Tavares who could leave.

Darn I thought you guys would make me happy. Maybe I should trade Sorokin. I was really hoping he'd replace Lundqvist for me, when he is almost done.

Sorokin will be here next year and Garf will make him the 1a and 1b. We will go with a 1 goalie system.

I don't know how your league works but if you have a minors system you should definitely hold on to him. If not, don't waste a roster spot on him he's still a couple years away from making an appearance. 2023 is a bit of a stretch lol. He's on my fantasy league I'm in and we have a minors system. I actually keep getting a ton of trade proposals for him lol. He's not going anywhere!

Will his KHL contract allow for that? It'd make me happy.

Capuano left his corporate etch a sketch on the bench. I clearly saw on it:

I absolutely think Sorokin comes over once his deal is done. From what I understand Sorokin has shown the desire to play in the NHL.

The only thing I could see happening is Sorokin signs a year-to-year deal in the KHL to continue to develop...

However, Sorokin can be a franchise altering goaltender.

If he's not the RW we've been looking for I don't know who the hell is! You know if he was on the roster Crappy would have had him taking the first SO attempt against Anaheim yesterday...

If it's a keeper league, hold on to him until he gets traded and turns into a superstar for another team.
