It's been roughly 19 hours since Ilya Sorokin has been a free man and he has not signed with the New York Islanders yet. I'm here to tell you that there is no reason to panic, despite the countdown to May 1.
Sorokin's deal with CSKA Moscow expired at the end of April 30, which was 5:00 pm our time yesterday. According to Andrew Gross of Newsday, Lou Lamoriello has no update on Ilya Sorokin as of this morning.
Just because there is no update, doesn't mean you have to be concerned about Sorokin coming here.
