Is he healthy?

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Happy for him but I’d be a little worried if I was an Isles fan. Hopefully he can rebound and bring them some success.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Someone called this in the buy out thread.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Hope he turns his career around, by all accounts a great guy that fought hard though his injury.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

That is a quality No. 3 goaltender, right there.

 

[IslesBro715]

Sorokin
Varlamov
Schneider?

Have to imagine that he starts in Bridgeport, we have no goalies down there.

 

[Unspecified]

meh

 

[CartographerNo611]

Good for Corey, this time off should of done wonders for his torn up body.

 

[Adam Fox Time]

My first thought was Mathieu Schneider lol

 

[serp]

As a #3 meh . If he has to play NHL games not great. Isles defense would make him look better than he looked with the Devils though

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I forgot he was bought out.

 

[Thrasymachus]

Bridgeport really needs a goalie. Isles have Varly, Sorokin, then not much else.

 

[KrisBeKreame]

Gibson Left, so the Islanders dont have a #3 goaltender. With a likely compressed season and Sorokin's inexperience having a 3rd string goaltender in Brideport will be very important

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Varly getting traded?

 

[thrillhous]

Varlamov being moved or just AHL/depth?

 

[Thrasymachus]

Varlamov being moved or just AHL/depth?

The latter. Isles just lost Gibson and Sorokin is brand new to the NHL. Never hurts to have insurance, and I can't imagine Schneider will cost all that much.

 

[JT Kreider]

I guess some insurance just in case Sorokin struggles a bit and he can spend some time in AHL

 

[RWatson29]

Varly traded with salary being taken? Idk who would want 3 more years at 5M

 

[Dialamo]

Awesome news for Cory. He's a great guy!

 

[Mickey Marner]

Varlamov to Chicago?

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Best of luck to Cory.

This is just vintage Lou, though.

 

[Gurglesons]

GM of the year.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Schneider has made way too much money in his career to sign a contract to play in the AHL at this point.

 

[SotasicA]

What will he be doing in New York?

Surely they won't let him mind their net.
