edmonton needs something, mayby this helps.
I'm licking my fingers, praying everyday, and Oilers should pay anything for him!
Doubt it.
I doubt Romanov resigned long term if sorokin was leaving, they’re good friends. Plus it moves him away from the person who he’s the GODFATHER of their child, Shesterkin. There are two conversations that would happen:
Bowman: DAAAARCHE! How about sorokin?
Darche: screw off
Or
Darche: hey sorokin, wanna leave this team and your best friends behind?
Sorokin: Nyet
this guy still click baiting I see… fell for it for like the 100th time 🙁
Too many things factors for it to happen.
I can’t see what moves the Oilers can make now to clear that much cap room to fit him.
Also, the oilers have no prospects of note.
They are also short on draft capital.
Can’t see this trade going down.
Would he be amazing as an Oiler amd would I like to see him in Edmonton yes, but how would the Oilers do it with there cap not saying it's not possible but it will be difficult to acquire
yeah i guess isladnder is gonna trade him and if you do that gm is fire right away you dont trade3 top 10 or top 5 goalie in nhl
Give em Nurse 😂 for him.
Oilers don't have enough attractive prospects and picks to pull this off.
Edmonton not taking Jesper W is one of the biggest draft blunders in a while IMO
I mean both teams are at a different spot that could benefit them. Oilers are on the verge of obtaining the cup all they may possibly
Need is that goalie and Sorokin may be it. On the other hand Sorokin may only be 29 I think and islanders aren’t any closer to winning a cup than they were and at Sorokins age does he want to commit to the islanders rebuild/retool. There’s a lot of movabnor parts in this but I’d def consider it
CLICK BAIT😡
This is a shinning example of why I subscribed to your channel…I simply don't have time to search and read about all the behind the scenes details, going on with each team and player of importance. To top it off, You pick through and highlight the juice to the story, and Your narration is smooth and easy to listen to. You actually make it fun…You and The Hockey Guy…I watch others, but sub to You two…Thank You…
As far as the subject…Edmonton is squeezing the nickle till the Buffalo sh!ts the way it is. I don't know where they'd get the assets, or how they'd work out the finances. Then there's the recent history, and that is concerning. I'd be a no
This is one of the dumbest hockey videos I’ve ever seen.
Your voice sounds like its pitch shifted high
100% a yay
0% chance the Isles move Ilya for draft picks. Even two #1's and a #2 it wouldnt make sense. Those draft pics would be late first round picsk and wouldnt develop for 5 to 6yrs by that time the currently young crop of Isles would be ready to go.
Id say there is close to a 0% chance this happens. And Ilya is best friends with Shesh who is also in NY. He would excercise the no trade clause unless it was a sure fire cup team.
The Oilers don’t have the assets to land Sorokin.
We knew he wasn't coming over from Russia until Garth Snow was out the door. And that's exactly how it happened.
It’s nonsense! Frankie is just tossing 💩! Nothing better to talk about! Islanders are adding Russians to make Sorokin more comfortable! All the nonsense of Romanov being traded! Nonsense! Such vivid imagination 💭! Oilers fans are Dreaming 😴! Plus the Oilers are giving nothing off their roster! Just Dreaming!
The oilers don’t have the assets to make it happen.
Don't believe the complete stupidity of these talking heads.
Edmonton has absolutely NOTHING to offer unless McDavids is the player coming to LI.
You know it's ridiculous because you spent 9 minutes an change on this and Sorokin took up less than 3 minutes! Lol!
Oilya Sorokinton
We are finally going in the right direction, and it's exciting!! Also, Soro is staying bub
Isles fan here. NO!!!
You’re a delusional hack. Sincerely, an islanders fan
Oilers don’t have cap space
Old news …another garbage video.
