Ilya Sorokin

[Thrasymachus]

I was told by a Florida fan that Sorokin is not a "premium" prospect.

So I am curious what people think.

Is Sorokin a blue chipper? Or overrated?

Sorokin, on talent is undoubtedly an “A” level prospect.

 

[Lays]

Easily, what do Panthers fans know about good goalie prospects?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'm curious about the argument against it

I get that trade value might be lower due to unwillingness to risk him coming over.

He undoubtedly is an "A" prospect or high end, or premium or whatever word you want to use.

Original context was regarding a Trocheck trade and whether or not Sorokin would count as a "premium" / A level prospect coming back

 

[Newsworthy]

No doubt is Sorokin a top prospect.

Sign Lehner for 5 years. Sorokin's contract expires in 2020 (small chance he can get bought out and come over early). Either way, salivating over possibly having Lehner/Sorokin in 2020, though Lehner/Greiss are on pace for the Jennings.

Sorokin's numbers are insane. He had a problem with Snow, but now with LL running things, it greatly enhances his chances of coming over here.

In that case, then no. Goalie prospects simply aren't going to have the same value as A prospects at other positions. He's an A goalie prospect. He's not an A prospect overall in terms of trade value.

no imo. he's 23 and still in the khl. for instance, vasievelevsky is 24 and has already played a few seasons in the nhl and carter hart is 20 and has played a handful of games himself. khl prospects are also generally overrated.

 

[Beezeral]

In that case, then no. Goalie prospects simply aren't going to have the same value as A prospects at other positions. He's a A goalie prospect. He's not an A prospect overall in terms of trade value.

Notice how he had to leave out the actual reasoning behind the poll to try and skew results.

Lopsided result.
