Ilya Sorokin, the Islanders' presumed goalie of the future, may finally be coming to North America to join the organization.
Igor Eronko, who covers the KHL for Sport-Express, reported via Twitter on Sunday that Sorokin has opted not to re-sign with CSKA Moscow and will instead sign a deal with the Islanders after his current contract expires on April 30.
The Islanders selected Sorokin, who turns 25 on Aug. 4, in the third round in the 2014 draft. He has spent six seasons with CSKA Moscow, leading that squad to the Gagarin Cup in 2019 while being named the league's playoff MVP.
