The New York Islanders on Tuesday signed goaltender of the future Ilya Sorokin to a $2 million contract for next season.
Sorokin, 24, is considered one of the top prospects at any position not currently in the NHL. A third-round pick of the Islanders in 2014, he was among the Kontinental Hockey League's best goalies this past season with a 1.50 goals-against average and .935 save percentage.
