Ilya Sorokin will make his debut for the Islanders this year as a rookie. Unfortunately, he’s been snubbed by the oddsmakers.
Just three years ago, the Islanders had their very own Calder Trophy winner. Mathew Barzal burst onto the scene with a fantastic 2017-2018 season and put up an impressive 85 point season which resulted in the rookie of the year honor.
This year, there’s a chance that they could have another repeat contender with Ilya Sorokin. At least that’s what we thought.
