Senators Expected To Trade Egor Sokolov This Summer

June 16, 2024 at 6:57 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 4 Comments

Over the past few years, Egor Sokolov has been one of Ottawa’s top-performing AHL players but it hasn’t resulted in much of an opportunity to play at the top level.  As a result, while he is expected to receive a qualifying offer later this month, Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch reports that the expectation is that the Senators will move the winger at some point this summer.

The 24-year-old went undrafted in his first two years of eligibility before a breakout year with QMJHL Cape Breton in 2019-20 boosted his stock to the point where he was picked in the second round in 2020, going 60th overall.  He signed his entry-level contract soon after and has played in Ottawa’s system since then.

This past season, Sokolov played in 71 games with AHL Belleville, recording 21 goals and 25 assists.  However, it was the first time since his rookie year (which was shortened by the pandemic) that he failed to reach the 50-point mark.  As a result, he wasn’t recalled at all during the season after clearing waivers during training camp.

Despite that, Sokolov still has 13 career NHL appearances under his belt having spent time with the big club in both 2021-22 and 2022-23.  Overall, he has a goal and an assist in those games while logging a little more than nine minutes a night on average.

Sokolov will be arbitration-eligible for the first time this summer although with the limited NHL action, it’s unlikely he’d be able to command much more than the minimum salary.  But as a 6’4 winger with a reasonable track record of success in the minors, there should be a team or two interested in taking a longer look at him in a move that would likely amount to a swap of AHL players in need of a change of scenery.
