Confirmed Trade: [SJS/NSH] Yaroslav Askarov, Nolan Burke, 2025 COL 3rd round pick for David Edstrom, Magnus Chrona, 2025 SJS/VGK 1st round pick (top 10 conditional)

[Juxtaposer]

What are the Conditions on the Vegas pick because I have not seen any?

It's basically nothing. If the Vegas pick is within the top-10 and better than the Sharks pick, then we keep the better pick. But there's no way the Sharks are going to finish higher than Vegas so it's basically just Vegas' pick straight up.

I think it can be swapped with SJ's pick if Vegas finishes lower than them.

 

[La Bamba]

Good work by the Sharks. Grier is building something good

So if the Sharks finish 30th and Vegas 27th but Vegas wins the lottery Predators could get 1st overall?

Nope, the Sharks would then get the Vegas pick and you would get ours. The exact wording of the deal is, I believe, "if the Vegas pick is top-10, then the Sharks can choose to give Nashville the Sharks' own pick". Which we would obviously do if the Vegas pick was higher than our own.

That sucks good on San Jose to keep the lottery odds on their side.

Yeah, I think it's a smart condition. But realistically, if the Vegas pick wins the lottery then you're basically guaranteed the Sharks pick, which will be top-5 for sure. So you should still root for the Vegas pick to win the lottery! Win-win for both you and I, and it's funny for those who hate the Knights.

 

[nergish]

Great fit. Hopefully SJ’s found their next Nabokov.

 

[Frederixx]

San Jose made out great in that trade. Gave up nothing of real value. A dime-a-dozen middle six center prospect, an okay goaltender prospect that maybe plays a few games (or might not even be that good), and a 1st.

A 1st round pick in last year's draft, a goalie prospect and a 1st is more than fair. Goalie prospects are too much unpredictable and Askarov, while very promising, had average numbers in the AHL (.910 pct). Still, I think Press could have done way better with sure shot prospect instead of a bunch of long shots.

 

[Hallzy]

If this trade has taught me anything is you cannot trust Vegas. When you get drafted by them you're not gonna end up playing for them long. If Brisson is not on his way out it's because of his dad. But Trevor Connolly better watch out because he may end up getting traded to a team with a superstar that's rebuilding.

But all that being said, I think Askarov might just be the final piece to the Sharks puzzle. Nashville mishandled this bad.

But I think Nashville is going to flip that 1st at the deadline for some star help as I do believe they're playoff bound.

Wrong quote

So he left Nashville because he didn't want to start in the AHL but as of now he's probably still starting in the AHL.

He has a better shot at a NHL starting position in San Jose, even if he goes to San Jose’s AHL team, if he does he will be called up, with Nashville, he was likely stuck in the AHL.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Really good one by the Sharks. I do like Edstrom but the 1st is likely to be a 20+ pick and Askarov could be a top 5 goalie in the league.

Good work. They will need a few more years of good picks but the Sharks are coming along again.

Those aren’t average AHL numbers for someone his age.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Solid move for both teams.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Kevin Woodley is not super high on Askarov. We’ll see. Lots of talent there but he’s never really been consistently solid.

Goaltending analyst. Believe he is based in Vancouver. Does a lot of Canada radio stuff on Rogers network.

Edstrom and a 1st is a nice return for Askarov who hasn’t really wowed anyone yet.

He could look really bad in San Jose. Hopefully he works out for them

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Grier knows he's beefed up the forwards and the defense both now and in the future. Askarov is 22. By the time he's 25-26 Sharks will be a major contender and he'll be in his prime.

I really like this for the Sharks. 25 26 26 27 some time in that he will begin his NHL ARC of starter.

Who is the we in this scenario

Who is the we in this scenario

Sharks.

 

[Mattb124]

Win for both sides, lots of risk for SJ though. Goalies are unpredictable and Askarov has no NHL experience, if he chokes this turns ugly for SJ really quick.

Limited NHL experience, .943 sv% in 2 games last year.

 

[CanadienShark]

Nice! Little higher price than I'd have liked, but I'm pretty excited nonetheless! I've wanted the Sharks to trade for him for a while now.

 

[amikaro]

SJ is stacked with that move. Look at their Center depth coming up with two elite prospects leading the way. Adding top prospects on the wing and some okay D pool. I still think Mukhamadullin gonna be big. With Askarov - wow!

Good times if you cheer for the Sharks. Will be interesting how long it takes to get competitive. But the peak will be pleasant and longlasting ...

Amazing job, how they finally re-tooled as quickly. Grier's the man ...

Happy for them!
