Today we look at what role goalie Ilya Sorokin will play on the Isles as a rookie and how the NHL schedule will affect that.

We also look at the young players who may be cheaper alternatives for the Isles if they are looking to inject some offense into their lineup.

Yesterday was Al Arbour's birthday, we discuss the HOF coach and what he meant to the franchise and we look at the decision made by the Hockey Hall of Fame about this year's class.
