On Wednesday, we found out that the KHL had canceled the 2019-20 season. That means the New York Islanders can get to work on singing goalie prospect Ilya Sorokin for the 2020-21 season.
Prior to the KHL's announcement Sorokin and his CSKA Moscow team were in the middle of a push for a second consecutive Gagarin cup. After finishing the regular season as the top team in the league, CSKA Moscow swept its first-round opponent 4-0 with Sorokin posting a 0.75GAA and 0.965SV%.
With the KHL playoffs now canceled, the Isles can work on getting Sorokin signed for next season.
