Blake should be calling for Askarov. Yes, Portillo had a very good season, but saw so many poor movements and think he will always be prone to having lapses and bad goals given up.
I was surprised he did as well as he did. I'm not sold. He has raised his value, some.
I say get Askarov. He's 22 and ready. Can start in Ontario and Rittich can be dealt, any time of the season. I would try to add Englund and get Lauzon, but don't think they would do that. Yannetti can still get a decent prospect at 55. I think Dvorak was 54 OA last year. I don't think Portillo will ever be a #1....but, he can be a good backup to Saros.
#1 2024, Kaliyev, Portillo.
Askarov #2 2024 55 OA
