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)

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I mean they just drafted arguably the top D-man in the draft, traded for Tampa's top D prospect last year, got Mukhmadulin the year prior in the Meier trade, 4th round pick Luca Cagnoni just had near 100 points in the CHL last year, Drafted Havelid a couple years back in the 2nd, drafted Wallenius in the 2nd round this year, 5th round pick Pohlkamp was a major standout at the WJC...

Also got Henry thrun From Anaheim 2 years ago…. Dickinson/muk prob core players, but could use another big dmen prospect/player

Damn that's a pretty good return for Nashville. Burke and Chrona seem like mostly nothing pieces, so it's basically Edstrom and a 1st for Askarov and a 3rd.

Good deal for both sides, the Sharks gave up assets they could afford to give up and the Predators got good value for a guy who wanted out.

 

[Altimus]

Smart move by the shark.

 

[TheBeard]

So Hertl for Askarov. I'll take it.

Poor Edstrom. Must be a roller coaster for him.

 

[WarriorofTime]

What's the protection on the pick?

 

[Soundgarden]

1st is good, we'll have three next year, unfamiliar with Edstrom, goalies meh.

 

[I am Bettman]

Both teams are happy with this probably

 

[Bgav]

Is the first protected ?

 

[S E P H]

So far his trades have not been good for the most part. Will see what this deal looks like.

Most of his trades have been to clear cap space, which requires some losses here and there. Wilson really set that team back with the contracts he signed.

 

[Sting]

Obviously early but dang Nashville took a big value hit on this one.

Great move for sharks… goalie was really weak for them…. How that gives them a young potential star .


If they can find a good young dmen to go with their core they are going to be scary in a year or 2.

I assume they have another top 5 pick this season to possibly address that

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Condition on the 1st is sharks can give up their pick if Vegas' is higher. So 100% Vegas lol

 

[Patty Ice]

Both teams happy here. Time will dictate if remains that way.

 

[S E P H]

Obviously early but dang Nashville took a big value hit on this one.

Goalers never get valued, and he's unproven on top of that. I don't know why that its, goalers are one of the most important positions, yet they get treated like shiznite.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

2025 1st rounder must be vegas right?

 

[TheBeard]

Also got Henry thrun From Anaheim 2 years ago…. Dickinson/muk prob core players, but could use another big dmen prospect/player

Considering it all happened in like 20 months that's a hell of a stockpile.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Obviously early but dang Nashville took a big value hit on this one.

How so? They got basically 2 1st rounders for Askarov.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Not a bad trade for both, but yeah, IDK how much of a market there really was for Askarov. Don't think they could have gotten much more without him being more proven (NHL play).

We will see how good he is in the coming years.

 

[Satan]

hertl for askarov who say's no

 

[Blitzkrug]

Obviously early but dang Nashville took a big value hit on this one.

To be expected.

Proven goalies regularly go for pennies on the dollar in trades. Then throw on top of it Askarov is unproven (albeit with a crazy high ceiling) and forced his way out. They did about as well as they could.

What will really determine this trade going forward is Saros. If he continues to be elite, then Nashville likely doesn't give a damn what Askarov turns into. If not....this move might be looked at as franchise altering years down the line.

 

[SteelCityCannon]

Feels like a win win

 

[TheBeard]

1st is good, we'll have three next year, unfamiliar with Edstrom, goalies meh.

Edstrom seems like a Trotz/Nashville kinda guy.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Nice job Sharks. Going to be a a playoff time in no time.

 

[Some Other Flame]

That's a fantastic return for a goalie prospect

Good deal for both sides since Sharks already have Celebrini and Smith

 

[NYI365]

Good trade for SJ, good enough for NSH considering Askarov wasn't going to report and wanted out. SJ makes out a bit better imo but a good fit between the two.
