Islanders 22 minutes of chaos surrounding Ilya Sorokin

Ilya Sorokin is easily the best goalie not playing in the NHL. The New York Islanders third-round draft pick from 2014 has had season after season of video game-like stats over in the KHL.

Over 242 regular season KHL games, Sorokin has averaged a 1.70GAA and 0.930SV%. Add a 1.41GAA and a 0.938SV% as well as a Gagarin Cup with a playoff MVP in 2018-19 and a KHL best goaltender award in 2015-16. And his KHL contract is set to expire at the end of the season.

The Islanders definitely want him to make the jump to North America as soon as possible.
