He has yet to secure a backup role full time in the NHL. If the Sarros extension does happen, then long term Askarov won't be there, but he needs to be a full time NHL goalie (backup) next season. 2026 or so is when he should look to get out and get a starter role if he can show that he can hold down the backup role.
Rumor: Askarov’s agent : We are working on different possibilities for Yaroslav
- Thread starter ViD
- Start date
I disagree, he needs to get starts in the AHL, I think being a backup would be detrimental right now.

Aren't they arguably the most stable franchise in the league with regards to goaltending?
They went from peak Dunham, to Vokoun, to Rinne, to Saros. One season of Chris Mason sprinkled in there, I suppose.
That is a hell no from Anaheim. Carlsson quite simply is not available.
Yes, if there's one team I'd be confident in developing goalies it'd be Nashville.
Well... signing a starting goalie to a 7.74 million AAV contract until retirement age and giving him a NMC certainly does seem to limit Askarov's upward movement in Nashville

they have a starter locked up for the next 10 years or something. if askarov is not an idiot he should know they will be marinating him in the ahl for a very long time. and every year they will tell him - you are not ready, one year more and we'll see how it goes.

To LA. - Igor Shesterkin
To Nashville. - Adrian Kempe
To Rangers. - Askarov, Liam Greentree and the better of the two 1st rounders tjat Nashville has.

Who is more NHL-ready - Askarov or Silovs?
Nucks are toying with the idea of Silovs as back up next year. Prospect swap?
With Demko’s health uncertainties, he’d probably play a lot of games here…
Don’t come at me saying the value isn’t the same. Despite draft pedigree, these are comparable players.

If we’re trading askarov it won’t be goalie for goalie. We’ll be looking for a defensive prospect or forward prospect
High end center defense prospect.
Glass? Fabbro, isn't really a dump but could be available despite our need for defense.
Staying in Nashville puts a massive cap on how much money askarov can make for the next 8 years, and likely beyond that

Hey! We suck!
Not really, if he is as good as he thinks he is then there are things that can be done if needed. Right now though he has proven nothing other than he is good enough to play an AHL season and run out of gas when the playoffs start.
Right now he is still strictly a prospect. If he had a better playoffs and hadn't gotten injured then maybe he has a chance as the back up, but when that happened Trotz had no choice but to go out and get one.
Smartest thing he can do is buckle down and have a really solid AHL season and playoffs, put pressure on Trotz to move out Wedgewood and give him the back up spot. Right now only one crazy GM and coach would throw him on an NHL roster.

I would bet a fair bit of money that ends in up Washington or Edmonton
Maybe LA/VGK too
Maybe LA/VGK too
Vegas would be all over him but they don't have the assets for it unless Nashville wants Theodore.
