Sokolov came into this year with high expectations, as many scouts projected him as a potential first round pick. However, Sokolov suffered through a disappointing first season in the OHL with the Sudbury Wolves, and his draft ranking has fallen dramatically as a result. Sokolov is a winger with a laser shot, great hands, and great scorer's instincts, with a big frame at 6'1" 205 lbs. Despite his natural gifts, Sokolov was criticized at various points throughout the season for his skating, his effort level, his defensive game, and for being apparently out of shape. It was later revealed after the season ended that Sokolov had played through much of it with a shoulder that would repeatedly dislocate, forcing Sudbury's trainers, and often Sokolov himself, to pop it back into place. Sokolov had surgery on his shoulder after the season ended to correct this problem. It will be interesting to see what a healthy, in-shape, and motivated Sokolov could accomplish in his sophomore OHL Season.
