Since being drafted by the New York Islanders in 2014, Ilya Sorokin has turned into one of the Islanders most polarizing prospects. While playing in the KHL, Sorokin has been a dominant goaltender at times.
This past year, the 22-year-old had a .931 save percentage and a 1.59 goals against average playing in the KHL. There’s a lot of hype around Sorokin, and rightfully so, but with two years left on his KHL deal the likelihood of Sorokin coming to the NHL anytime soon is slim.
Yesterday, we did find out that Ilya Sorokin is open to coming to training camp this fall, which is a great sign.
