G Yaroslav Askarov (2020, 11th, NSH; traded to SJS) - PART 2

[ViD]

He’s got some insane numbers in the AHL. Is he getting a call up soon ?

 

[42]

After the Preds trade Saros.

No, probably not.

Preds don't have anybody else lined up in the system atm and do want a competitive team in Milwaukee, so he won't get recalled unless there is an injury to Saros or Lankinen.

Could sign Grigals to a contract or let him play out his AHL contract. Sign Haider once his senior year is over and i think MIL will be pretty competitive

I don't think that using their ECHL 3rd-string guy or a new rookie out of college are quite what they are thinking of. Next year maybe, one of them along with a veteran free agent who is a little more in his prime than Grosenick, sure. But there is no "plan" to promote Askarov this season.

Try to keep the hubris in check; Grigals posted elite numbers in Gwinnett and was a big part of the Gladiators record setting start to the season.

I’ve actually seen him play in person and was confounded why the Preds havent signed him yet.

He may not be a future Vezina winner, but hes worth locking up as a future back up to Aksarov

the kid is good

lol they don't even own the Admirals, why should they care how Milwaukee finishes? Probably just keeping him there for playing time as sitting on the bench and watching Saros start 85 % of games isn't great for development

It's about development. They want the Admirals to make the playoffs and get playoff games, because that's more development in challenging situations for the team's top prospects. It worked very nicely in that respect last season, and they would like to repeat that scenario.

Saros has been pretty awful this year

 

[Soundgarden]

Saros has been pretty awful this year

I mean, we're a bottom three team, I'd hate to see where we'd be without him.

 

[ViD]

Bottom 2?

 

[Legionnaire11]

Saros has been pretty awful this year

Saros hasn't been his usual elite self so far this year, but "awful" is certainly not the right word.

 

[GaboriklessWild]

[slumpy43]

Think he just got his first NHL win. 2 goals on 30 shots according to the Score

 

[AintLifeGrand]

Better than Wallstedt!

 

[Marshy71]

What are the chances he stays up with the preds?

 

[Hinterland]

What are the chances he stays up with the preds?

Got sent down already. He will only be with the Preds if they're down a goalie. This season for sure and most certainly next season as well.

They should trade him for some solid assets instead

 

[Hinterland]

They should trade him for some solid assets instead

Why?

 

[Soundgarden]

What are the chances he stays up with the preds?

Zero. He was only up as an emergency call up because of Lankinen's illness.

They should trade him for some solid assets instead

We wouldn't get enough value back. He's our best prospect and if we won't get someone else's elite prospect there's no reason to move him.
Nashville's mantra has always been build from the net out, we're set for a long time with Saros an Askarov.

[herzausstein]

2 GA in 4 games since the new year (3 shutouts).

 

[Czechboy]

2 GA in 4 games since the new year (3 shutouts).

it's so funny because so many are against him because of a few games at the WJC while somehow missing an amazing body of work in the AHL. He is absolutley killing it.

 

[ViD]

Shame he’s not getting more NHL starts
