At least Chrona is putting up great numbers in his few starts too which cuts the sting a bit. Although I still think the big question with Askarov is his consistency. We know he can be really good but he also goes through stretches were he is brutally bad and unfortunately for him two of those stretches have taken place in the playoffs.
Yeah, we've seen he can dominate the AHL during the regular season. Call me when the same happens in the AHL playoffs or better yet, in the NHL..
Eh, depends how the return pans out. Edstrom is off to a great start in the SHL this year and there's still a pick to be made so even if Askarov is a star it hopefully won't approach the disaster (from the Caps' perspective) of the Forsberg trade.
Only thing that keeps me sane is that Edstrom is looking good and our current center depth absolutely needs a boost. I know edstrom doesnt address that now. It just shows that center is an area of much concern.

Back to his old ways of constant injury. I really feel for the dude. It has to be hard never being able to get into a rhythm
Well, their top three points scorers so far (two of whom are Sharks prospects with the other being a 30-year-old AHL lifer) are all new to the team per HockeyDB.
Well, we had Graf on hand in our camps and should have signed him! Plus Cagnoni we could have picked before Jatkola or Willis or MacKinnon, so yeah, we should have had all those guys, and their farm team should be sucking much more.
Hindsight drafting leads only to frustration and sorrow. I strongly recommend against it.Well, we had Graf on hand in our camps and should have signed him!

Eh like I said in another thread somewhere, lets see how he looks in the last month of the season and the playoffs. Askarov did well in the regular season, its when thing got down to crunch time that he fell apart.
