Ilya Sorokin planned to approach this summer the same way he does everything else: keep his head down, focus on hockey and tune out the rest.
Had the Islanders not been able to come to an agreement with Sorokin, the specter of him leaving next summer would have hung around like a shadow. In crafting the Islanders, general manager Lou Lamoriello has operated by his long-standing philosophy that teams should be built from the goal outwards. “Ilya’s a special player. Special athlete,” Anders Lee said. “One of the best goalies in the league. He’s been proving that for a long time now. It’s definitely Ilya on out. We work out from him. That’s how we’ve been, that’s been part of our identity. It’s great to see him as an Islander for a long time.
