On Monday morning, the news broke that Ilya Sorokin signed a 3-year extension with his KHL team CSKA Moscow. Many thought the 21-year old netminder would come to North America after his contract was scheduled to end after next season.
This news aside many scouts have felt that Linus Soderstrom was the better of the two goalie prospects. He dazzled in the Isles prospect camp last week.
Path is Clear for Soderstrom
With Sorokin signing to stay in the KHL for at least the next four years, it is clear that Soderstrom is the future for the blue and orange in between the pipes.
