Islanders Anxiety - Episode 119 - The 12th Goalie of the Future

Mike and Dan return to their mics to discuss the Ilya Sorokin signing(s), training camp 2.0 and the Islanders cautious return to the ice.

They talk about their excitement about having the decorated KHL champion in the fold for next season and what it means for the Islanders’ looming salary cap situation. Later, they talk about the CBA extension, the Islanders resuming practice with formerly injured players Adam Pelech and Casey Cizikas and the assurance of hearing Barry Trotz’s voice again.

Finally, they laugh about this year’s messed up Draft Lottery and all the ways it went wrong for the league, and how it could still go very wrong for the Islanders.
