Re-sign Greiss on a 1 year deal after this season and then re-sign either him or Halak depending on how they've been playing in '18 to pair with Sorokin

Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
I'm curious to see how the smaller ice and different angles affect his game. Obviously incredibly talented, but sometimes they don't translate well.

He was at the summer prospect camp, he probably was the best player(or most noticeable one). All that being said it's hard to gauge how good or bad somebody is when they playing against a bunch of junior level players and guys who may never sniff time in the ECHL much less the AHL

I am looking at past comments and just am curious about his contract situation... Is he actually under contract this season and next season in KHL? Basically NYI wont get him here until the 2018/19 season?

That is correct. And it's not a bad thing either, though the Isles will want to put him under contract before the K decides to offer him 587632 millions a year and a palace.

Well many people also dont take into account the fact that there are NHL sized rinks in the KHL and he hasnt looked out of place in those games.

He's so quick side to side and athletic with those pads. Reminds me so much of quick. I pray the hockey gods have mercy on the isles and let this kid come over and turn into a legit franchise goalie.

I think people aren't thinking straight here, especially considering that Sorokin has never played an NHL game. Heck, he might be playing a whole year in the AHL in a year or so before making the real big jump. I can see it from miles (months*) away, people are gonna blame the organization for doing that..
Give the Islanders a break, they just lost their freaking arena!!

That post was made before the season started. His continued play this season clearly earned him more term.

Sorokin outgrew AHL two years ago. Should the Islanders offer him AHL he should just laugh in their faces.

No need to be laughing sarcastically, I was't aware of what he said concerning the AHL. So it'll be a case of Buchnevich, as in he'll only make the move to NA id f he's got a guaranteed spot with the Isles?

He will be on an elc. He does what the isles want him to do or he can go back to the khl (dont really care if he laughs while doing it or not). I think it is realistic that he needs a year of ahl to get used to north american hockey.

This is great attitude towards the best (arguably) prospect in the system. Don't see it backfiring at all

How much of Sorokin have you seen and what feats of NA hockey do you want him to be learning for an entire year?
