There is no way the NHLPA is going to stand for this. This will probably change 50 more times
you don’t think they thought of this already?

f*** it. Bring back Lehner in the offseason. Tired of waiting on pins and needles for this dude
Couldn’t Sorokin sign a 1 year deal with KHL and then sign with Isles after next season ?
The team doesn’t lose his rights until he turns 28 right?
Daly was asked about the possibility that teams would agree not to use the players in question but still be allowed to sign contracts for 2019-20. “We haven’t considered that, but maybe,” he said.
i thought it was 27. I’m pretty sure he is a UFA after 20-21. Getting heavy into the details...might have to read the CBA.
the advantage (as I understand it) was that he could sign a RFA deal next season For good money (assuming he burns ELC this year). But if next year is ELC and he goes to UFA the year after then we are screwed. He will stay in Russia.
he turns 25 in August. The rules state he must be over 27, so in July of 2022 can he be a UFA?
Look there is still a desire to come over here - a 1 year contract in The KHL can still work.
Russia is also getting hit hard and may not have games starting in early September
How has this not been considered? I think they could make an exception and allow teams to burn off the ELC, like they'd traditionally be allowed to do, and not allow the player to participate in the playoffs.
agreed. No different than signing drafted prospects after their NCAA season ends. Doesn’t make too much sense to me.
I think they're saying since the regular season is officially over it isn't the same thing since they can't get any games in except for the playoffs. I think they're playing a semantics game when the obvious answer is to allow them to burn a year if they want and don't let them play in the playoffs.

Agree 1000%. He could've signed with the KHL by now if he wasn't coming over. Patience everyone, he'll sign within the next 2 weeks, and be an Islander in 2020-21. Things may change with the new rules implemented right now, they left it open.I decline the opportunity to be pessimistic.
He'll sign.
Don't know who this guy is, so don't know how legit this can be taken but I want to believe
