At long last, the Islanders’ top goalie prospect is a member of the organization.
Ilya Sorokin’s U.S.-based agent, Dan Milstein, announced via his Twitter account on Monday night his client has signed for the remainder of the 2019-20 season.
It’s a one-year, entry-level deal and Sorokin is expected to join the Islanders’ training camp, which opened on Monday. This season will count toward the deal even though Sorokin is ineligible to participate in games, meaning he can negotiate a more lucrative deal as a restricted free agent this offseason.
Sorokin, who turns 25 in August, was an Islanders’ third-round pick in 2014.
