I wish he would come over here to play for the Islanders. He seems like he has the potential to be a top goalie, which we need.

"•While the Islanders would like to bring top goalie prospect Ilya Sorokin to North America as soon as possible, it doesn’t appear that his KHL team is open to letting him go. Igor Eronko of Sport-Express spoke with Sorokin’s agent who indicated that CSKA Moscow has no intention of letting him go until the expiration of his current contract in 2020. The 23-year-old is once again one of the top goalies in the KHL, posting a stellar 1.19 goals-against average with a .941 save percentage through 22 games, but it appears he’ll have to wait a while yet to join the Islanders, even if he’d like to come over after this season, as Arthur Staple of The Athletic reported earlier Wednesday."
