The whole situation is strange. Varlomov was brought in because he knows Sorokin and was the piece that assured he came over to the Islanders. But in the off-season the false report came that Sorokin requested a trade which is responded to by saying he only learned of the request when he was asked about it by a reporter.
Now he is reported by Dreger to having been traded to Chicago, and apparently confirmed through his teammates. Only to have Chicago say they have not traded for him.
I am an Isles fan but it seems like to me his Agent is putting out these reports in an effort to get him traded to another team. This is pure speculation on my part, but I think he wants to play somewhere else and is trying to force the matter through these reports.
