Reinbacher was just drafted #5 OA, Guhle is playing top pair minutes at 22 on the Habs, Hutson was considered for Hobey Baker as a freshman... Xhekaj and Harris played in the NHL and looked quite good doing it under 22 y old.
We can't do that. We just turned down Askarov and 15th at last draft for Reinbacher. Not going to turn around and trade him for Askarov alone now.
No, it isn't. Montreal's best tradeable assets are on the defensive side and I don't think there's much interest for us. And it would be silly to have spent the draft pick we did and the years of development so far on Askarov to trade him for a lesser pick than we used on him.
Jeez you’d think Askarov is the next Martin Brodeur the way people are over asking and passing up on actual good players here!!
Nah. We just think he's a highly promising prospect there's no reason to trade unless there's a great deal on the table--pro-tank Preds wanting to rush to trade anything not strapped down excepted.Jeez you’d think Askarov is the next Martin Brodeur the way people are over asking and passing up on actual good players here!!
? Ufko is last in that list, though... so if he's a "maybe", then so are all the others. If we get two #4-6D out of them, and something better out of Molendyk, that's all we need from our D prospect list atm. We already have a Norris caliber #1 guy. Plus a likely top-10 pick in a D-heavy draft this year, and 10 more picks to boot. Contrast with: Askarov is our ONLY projectable goalie in the pipeline at all. We're just not going to trade him. Trotz would have traded him and #15 for a chance at Smith or Carlsson, but nobody was listening to Trotz on that one.
Whatever world that is, that's the only world in which Askarov is traded. Interpret that as you will.
I dont care if he does or not but i can promise you that he will never return a young potentiel franchise center,winger or defWhatever world that is, that's the only world in which Askarov is traded. Interpret that as you will.
Hobey Baker has proved time and again not to mean a thing.
Then he stays in Nashville and we are ok with that.
No, but he is one of the best goalie prospects in the world along with Wallstedt. He's our best prospect and we're not giving him up for no reason. Alexander Holtz is not reason enough to move our best prospect when we already have Kemell, Evangelista, Afanasyev, Wood, Tomasino and Parssinen already.Jeez you’d think Askarov is the next Martin Brodeur the way people are over asking and passing up on actual good players here!!
It wouldn't be buying low if we have to give up our best prospect.
