    Default Ilya Sorokin - Keeper League

    What are people's thoughts on Ilya Sorokin this season? I'm in a 12tm auction keeper league where I can keep Sorokin for $17 ($200 draft budget). My other goalies keeper options are Shesterkin ($34) and UPL ($7). I'm leaning towards definitely keeping UPL at that cost, and throwing Sorokin back in to the draft pool. Most top-tier goalies tend to go for about $20 -$30 in the auction, but keeping Shesterkin would really limit my draft budget.

    We only have 1 starting goalie slot and can only roster 3 active goalies at a given time.

    I'm leery of Sorokin this season given the back injury, the Isles lack of offensive punch, and Roy's affinity towards his buddy Varlamov.

    Is Sorkin a smash or pass at cost?

    I've put out some feelers but the general vibe seems that folks are wary of his back injury despite the obvious fact its not the same as what happened to Vasy last year.

    You're not going to be able to get fair value for Sorokin at present. You'll need to wait until he re-establishes his prior level of performance. I think you let him go and see what the market is. You might be able to get him for his $17 value or less.

    Yes. I would think with all the worry out there that you can get him back for cheaper. If he reaches around the $15 - $18 mark, you stop there.

    Don't retain him, draft him back, hopefully for less

    I was gonna come here and say to dump Sorokin and try to re-draft for cheap. I ended up with Sorokin on multiple teams this season because he was slipping out of the top 100. Nice work!
