It's been a slow news cycle on the NHL front for weeks now. More so on a team-by-team level. But for New York Islanders fans, we're all constantly refreshing our social media accounts in the hopes of breaking news that Ilya Sorokin has signed his entry-level deal with the Islanders.
We know it's going to happen. We just don't know when it's going to happen. Sorokin's contract with CSKA Moscow ended on April 30th, meaning he's been free to sign a deal since May 1; eleven days ago. But no deal has been worked out just yet.
