The Athletic’s Arthur Staple reported Sorokin signed a three-year, $4-million AAV deal, Beauvillier signed a three-year, $4.15-million AAV deal and Cizikas signed a six-year, $2.5-million AAV deal.
It’s true fashion for Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello to sit quietly through the summer then sign four key pieces of their team to multi-year deals.
According to PuckPedia, the Islanders are now $3.7-million over the cap after the signings, but are able to exceed the cap by $6-million with defenceman Johnny Boychuk destined for the Long Term Injured Reserve.
