musky Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 We were wondering why the New York Islanders hadn't officially announced that Ilya Sorokin had signed his one-year ELC with the team. Now we know why. They were waiting to let everyone know that they had extended Sorokin past his ELC. On Tuesday, the Islanders announced that Sorokin has signed for a single year deal for the 2020-21 season. According to Elliotte Freidman, that deal was 50 percent signing bonus and 50 percent salary ($1 million each) giving him a $2 million cap hit. We went from maybe not getting Sorokin at all because of the NHL's arbitrary decision to not allow current year deals for unsigned draft picks, to not only getting him to sign his ELC but to a one-year extension to boot.
