orphans Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 His contract will be burned. This means that while the Islanders have finally signed Sorokin, he will need another contract this fall as a restricted free agent before he can ever suit up for the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raken65 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) So if I understand correctly Kaprizov, Sorokin and Romanov all lose a year per say of ELC which in theory makes them slightly less valuable from Capwise perspective correct?

orphans Posted July 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 The Islanders and Sorokin have already agreed to terms on his next contract, less than 24 hours after he signed his first one. The Russian netminder will sign a one-year deal for the 2020-21 season worth $2MM according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. This deal will still leave Sorokin as a restricted free agent in 2021 but gives the two sides a lot more time to work out a long-term deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh I think since we use AAV instead of cap hit, ELCs aren't inherently better... you could almost argue that if they get to RFA bidding with less NHL experience, their value increases. Time will tell i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmes131 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 both Sorokin and kaprizov will still be able to be put in the minors when they get another contract ,so they cant be bid on .if sorokins deal next year is 2 mil then the one after that might be 5 mil for 5 years. I think that's pretty valuable cuz he cant be bid on. no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
