Islanders 2018/19 Prospect Rankings - #3

[seafoam]

why is Sorokin being rated above Bellows, Ho-Sang or Aho (who are all potential NHL regulars as soon as opening night)

Sorokin is petrov 2.0

Because he’s one of the top goaltending prospects in the world.

 

[KrisBeKreame]

Sorokin, add Salo

 

[BelovedIsles]

Sorokin from all accounts has elite starter potential, there’s no way he’s not 3rd. I think I’m most excited about him outside of Whalstrom. I think he’s going to be a fun goalie to watch, think Jonathan Quick like. Sorokin is my prospect crush.

The only caveat to him is coming over. But I have complete faith in LL working his magic. He’ll be pretty much guaranteed a starter position by next year, and he will be paid accordingly.

Sorokin, don’t think he plays for us. Add Wotherspoon

Got to be Sorokin here. Fingers crossed he has another strong season in the KHL.

Tough call for me between who to add in either Wotherspoon or Salo.

I am going with the player who is "closer" in the Spoon, since he is already in North America and in the AHL.

But I can see Salo having more long-term upside, this will be a big year for him developmentally.

TOEWS, TOEWS, TOEWS

 

[Poliz24]

Sorokin, he wins this in a landslide. Add OTTO!!!
