Yesterday, there was a rumor of Ilya Sorokin being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks. After about 15 minutes of the rumor of the Blackhawks getting the rights to Sorokin, it was denied.
The 24-year-old Sorokin has won a Gold Medal, Silver Medal, and a Bronze Medal. He’s also won countless awards in the KHL. Those awards being an All-Star goalie, KHL playoff MVP, KHL champion, and second-most shutouts during the KHL playoffs (5). Also, he has the record for second-most shutouts during an entire season (11).
For the Blackhawks’ to get Sorokin could be franchise-changing.
