I consider Sorokin, Dobson, Pulock, and Barzal the cornerstones for the Isles present and future. If Sorokin is half as good as he is indicating he will be in the NHL. That's a rock solid foundation the Isles have there with these 4 pillars.

What will happen to Ilya Sorokin next season? Any real chance to play for New York Islanders?

igor eronko who is a good source for russian based players indicated he was not resigning with the khl or atleast at that time he was not. Also reports this summer indicated he was happy lamoriello was the gm as apposed to snow. Which seemed to the genesis for him signing. 3 year contract back in the khl i think he is coming over. I would be shocked if lou doesn’t already know this.
 
And one more shutout win in the KHL today and he has now got 57 of those in his career, which makes him 2nd all-time, not bad for someone 24 years old.

Per CBA rules on ELC, he doesn’t need to be on an elc if he’s 25 and older. He turns 25 in late August. So do the Isles have to wait until then to sign him?

what do they offer a goalie with no North American experience? Be an interesting contract negotiation.

Iirc, for European players this age is not 25, but 27.

One year deal from April to the end of the season. Multi year deal after that

Is this 57 just in the KHL or some career cumulative? If just KHL that’s absurd.
 
By comparison (just comparing numbers, don’t freak out...) NHL SO leader Martin Brodeur had 125 shutouts in 1266 games, or a whisker above 10%.

I’m curious to know the shut out rate on bigger ice vs NHL ice. Is it higher?

He also plays in the best team of last few years that plays very hard in defense. So stat watching of him is not the best way.

Well it depends on the league but in the KHL it is higher for sure. Metsola just recorded his 12th shutout of the season yesterday and SYu isn't even a good defensive team.

The Isles would be completely mad to make such a trade.

Eronko believes the opposite he said and Lou has met with Sorokins agent. Sorokin is the isles best chance at a franchise goaltender and will only be 25 next year. Lou’s sees Samsonov Shestyorkin and Georgiev all having great success. Sorokin could be right there with them.
