1C is never going to be found by trading a goalie. thats the God's honest truth
Then we shrug and develop him. No harm no foul.

i remember the ask from habs fans for band-aid price on an anchor contract. do you do as well?Goalies never go for that much…
I get it’s the preds fan want but if it’s the case then they should settle in with him on the team.
of course, and what did we learn? That top goalies dont get traded for Top F or D prospects.i remember the ask from habs fans for band-aid price on an anchor contract. do you do as well?
Re-read post #6 in this thread. Nobody has ever said that they do or that they should. Maybe it would help you to just think of it as another way of saying "Askarov Is Not Available".of course, and what did we learn? That top goalies dont get traded for Top F or D prospects.
Yes we know, which is what we have said countless times as Preds fans, and why we keep saying he is basically unavailable.1C is never going to be found by trading a goalie. thats the God's honest truth
Come on, think of all the value back we'd be missing out on. I'm betting the Habs would part with at least Allen, Anderson, and a top 25 protected 1st in 2026. We might have to add one of our other prospects on to get it though.Re-read post #6 in this thread. Nobody has ever said that they do or that they should.

I don't see any reason why Nashville would just kick the can down the road and trade him for a top 10 pick after investing in his development for several years nowprobably something around 10th overall value. the goalie market is oversaturated right now so his value might not be that strong
just going off the recent rumor.I don't see any reason why Nashville would just kick the can down the road and trade him for a top 10 pick after investing in his development for several years now
I was actually interested at the draft in the trade that was being rumored which if I'm not mistaken was #5 for Askarov +15th and maybe 24th (the rumors we're all over the road on the last piece), so long as the big offensive centres we're off the board (Carlsson, Fantilli, and Smith).Come on, think of all the value back we'd be missing out on.

Problem is, once those big offensive centers were off the board, so was the offer. Those were the targets.I was actually interested at the draft in the trade that was being rumored which if I'm not mistaken was #5 for Askarov +15th and maybe 24th (the rumors we're all over the road on the last piece), so long as the big offensive centres we're off the board (Carlsson, Fantilli, and Smith).
We heard that the preds were after Reinbacher or Michkov. It was renaud lavoie I think who mentioned itProblem is, once those big offensive centers were off the board, so was the offer. Those were the targets.
Maybe on Michkov. Trotz had been adamant about wanting a high-potential forward but particularly one of the centers. I very much doubt Reinbacher was a consideration unless he slipped to #15.We heard that the preds were after Reinbacher or Michkov. It was renaud lavoie I think who mentioned it
It was the plan, but he forgot the names along the way...Not sure what the ask was for Askarov, would have been cool if Carey Price could have told us the price at the draft podium
If we aren't getting a young 1C then we aren't trading Askarov. (and I recognize we would have to add quite a bit to Askarov to get a 1C)yea sry but you will never get a young 1C for Askarov center is the most valuable and hardest position to fill no one trades them specially not for a goalie
That being said Habs should be very interested if he his available
There is no such" recent rumor." There is simply the fact that Trotz was willing to package Askarov plus other assets to move up to the top 5. When that didn't happen, Askarov went back to being our future in goal.just going off the recent rumor.
That's weird. In Nashville there was no mention of anything other than "#1 Center"... i.e. Fantilli, Carlsson, Smith.We heard that the preds were after Reinbacher or Michkov. It was renaud lavoie I think who mentioned it
Found it, was TVA, not renaud
Could’ve been a load of shit, but this is where that was based on

We then that's not even a rumor that's pretty much been confirmed... but that availability ended after pick 5 in June. So not so recent and no longer an optionthat is the recent rumor.
even better.We then that's not even a rumor that's pretty much been confirmed
Uh... Trotz.even better.
by who
wasnt aware trotz confirmed it. rare to hear a gm admit he tried to trade a player.Uh... Trotz.
Preds media had it shortly after the draft
