musky Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 New York Islanders owners Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin reportedly have spoken to prospect Ilya Sorokin’s agent about coming to training camp. Since being drafted by the New York Islanders in 2014, Ilya Sorokin has turned into one of the Islanders most polarizing prospects. While playing in the KHL, Sorokin has been a dominant goaltender at times. This past year, the 22-year-old had a .931 save percentage and a 1.59 goals against average playing in the KHL. There’s a lot of hype around Sorokin, and rightfully so, but with two years left on his KHL deal the likelihood of Sorokin coming to the NHL anytime soon is slim. Yesterday, we did find out that Ilya Sorokin is open to coming to training camp this fall, which is a great sign. According to Noel Fogelman, Malkin and Ledecky met with Ilya Sorokin’s agent to discuss attending training camp. In a perfect world, Sorokin comes over to North America and dominates. It might influence his decision if he plays just as well in North America as he does in the K. The Islanders have struggled to find a franchise goalie, and Sorokin certainly looks the part. Who knows if Sorokin ever comes to the NHL, but if he comes to training camp that’s a pretty positive sign. Isles Tweet of the Day Sources tell me that Malkin and Ledecky have met with Ilya Sorokin’s agent about the goaltender coming to training camp in the fall. Sorokin is open to it.
