Ilya Sorokin has been highly touted as one of the Islanders’ goalies of the future, but the 23-year-old former third round pick in 2014 has yet to show any strong interest in playing on Long Island. He currently plays for CSKA Moscow, and will be playing there next year, with a contract running until 2020. While he attended Islanders prospect camp in 2016, coming off his KHL Goalie of the Year season, he probably doesn’t have a whole lot of interest in playing in the AHL for less money than he could get in Russia at the top level.
