Why Sharks Sending Askarov to AHL Makes Sense…For Now
Yaroslav Askarov is ready to roll. But not for the San Jose Sharks, not quite yet. Askarov, arguably the top goaltending prospect in the world, was assigned to the San Jose Barracuda on Friday morning. Askarov has yet to practice in Sharks training camp, after suffering a lower-body injury right...

Please, I beg of you, non-Sharks fans, stop trying to make this a story.

That's good he was sent down to the AHL. Now people can still say he's the best goalie outside the NHL

What is so hard to fathom?
Go look up the information if you have questions but refuse the answers given. People have repeatedly said he has been injured this preseason. He had a lower body injury shortly after arriving in San Jose. There was no expectation for him to have a starting role this year on either party and an unfortunate injury prevented him from competing for an opening night spot. Now it will be better for him to get back to playing form with the Barracuda and go from there.
It's not rocket science.

The problem isn't asking the question, the problem is ignoring pages of discussion. It takes like 5 minutes to read a page or two of a thread before jumping in.

He'll get healthy in the AHL, and get called up when blackwood or Vanecek get injured. One of them is likely gone at or before the deadline, and then he's full time with the Sharks and it's his starting position to win/lose.

Seems like a solid plan. I think he's going to be awesome. Sharks are in for hell this year but I think they are rebuilding nicely.

If he missed camp, I see him getting conditioned and playing regularly then getting called up with the plan of having him eligible for AHL playoffs. I dont know his game countdown and what triggers waivers.
Don’t ask a question which suggests you totally ignored or are denying a statement of fact made multiple times in previous posts in the thread, because that leads others to believe a) you have an agenda and are trolling, or b) you actually are a f***ing moron.

Now that its been a few months.
I think Trotz made a huge mistake this off season. Should have kept Askarov and traded Saros for a big bundle and went with a quick rebuild instead of singing aging free agents.
Could have gotten a lot for Josi, Forsberg and Saros.

Imagine the assets and young players they would have gotten with trades. in 2-3 years they would have been so good. Now you got an aging Stamkos, ROR, Josi, Forsberg and Marchassault.
This looks like highway robbery for SJ at this point and it feels like the main reason that Askarov isn't in the NHL is that he'd pull SJ out of their tank too quickly.
His minor league numbers are insane this year. Feels bad as a preds fan, man

His AHL numbers are pretty good, except when he plays against more competitive teams or is in the playoffs, then he starts to look ordinary. Which has been his bugaboo, so far, in his career.
Nash had to make a decision. Opted for the veteran as they wanted to still compete.
I would imagine that they use either the LV first or one of their 2 seconds this draft to take a goalie unless they have someone else in the pipeline. Have the time to give any kid the 4-5 years they need to develop and be ready for the nhl down the line.
Odd situation that they opted to have Wedgewood in the NHL vs have an open competition for the backup job between them. Ended up moving him in season anyways.

Hey! We suck!
Once again, Josi and Forsberg couldn't be traded unless they wanted to be. They both have full NMC's. That alone would have tempered any return anyone thinks either might have pulled assuming they agreed to waive in the first place.

Is that you Trotz? Want a list of players traded with NMC? I can't believe how many times people post this kind of stuff.
Hey Josi want to be a part of a rebuild?
Josi - Ah hell no.
Ok then loosen up the NMC
Its not difficult.

Hey! We suck!
Once again, none of us have any idea whether they would have or not. Even if they agreed they are still going to want to choose where they want to go. They aren't just going to freely waive for anyone.

You are right, none of us do. Except you because you are the one saying otherwise right?
Once again....
It's crazy looking at the NHL standings right now. Most people thought the signings made the Predators contenders again to go along with that trio.
Instead, they are just 2 points out of last...overall. With just Chicago behind them knocking on their door. Crazy.
