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)

Is Nabokov still active in the SJS community? This might be an underrated good landing spot for Askarov's development even if Nabokov isn't even part of the management team for SJS.

hes active

 

[Mac Attack]

Can't say San Jose isn't trying to reload in a hurry. Hopefully it works out for them. Just get the feeling that Askarov will still need a couple of years, yet. Still really young.

Which fits in perfectly with SJ timeline for starting to compete again.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

I feel like this is a bit of an overpay for Askarov at this point but I understand why the Sharks did it. What a fantastic stockpile of young talent they've built:

Eklund-Granlund-Toffoli
Smith-Celebrini-Zetterlund
Grundstrom-Wennberg-Goodrow
Kostin-Sturm-Kunin
Dellandrea

Ferraro-Rutta
Walman-Ceci
Vlasic-Benning
Thrun

Blackwood
Askarov
Vanacek

That D obviously needs big-time help yet but it's fixable while the rest of the core comes into their own over the next three years.

I really like how Grier's built a balanced team rather than just a bunch of high end skilled youngsters ala hall/eberle/Gagner or the failures in buffalo.

For a rebuild team, they dont have obvious holes in terms of roles, just lack of elite defensive talent. Maybe a vet like Barrie as a PP QB?

 

[one2gamble]

He is San Jose's goaltender development coach.

I think he switched roles last year

He's the director of goaltending while Thomas Speer is the goalie coach. Ryan Miller is also a part o the organization although as a scout.

Remember this day, Sharks fans. This is a franchise altering deal. I'm being serious, and I'm a completely neutral fan in this move. You just got a backbone goalie. Congrats.

 

[HBK27]

So is the fallout from this a potential Blackwood or VV trade?

I'd be surprised if they traded either.

Blackwood is most certainly gonna be injured several times this season, but has some upside and will probably be re-signed.

Vanecek flat out sucks at this point, so maybe they waive him if Askarov grabs a spot. Otherwise, I'm sure he'll get plenty of opportunities throughout the season as is.

That D obviously needs big-time help yet but it's fixable while the rest of the core comes into their own over the next three years.

This doesn't include their top 4 defensive prospects (Mukhmadulin, Dickinson, Thompson and Cagnoni).

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I wasn't worried about that. Montreal isn't in the habit of trading for good players they like to trade for projects and injury prone guys

The butthurt is strong with this one

 

[Viqsi]

Bystedt wouldve been my preference as well. I wonder if Trotz had a choice there or not. Edström does sound like a Trotz player with a good two way game and some tenacity though

His draft comparable in EP's guide that year was Boone Jenner. So it's fair to say I am very much in favor.

 

[Figgy44]

He's the director of goaltending while Thomas Speer is the goalie coach. Ryan Miller is also a part o the organization although as a scout.

Speer is the one that used to be at Everett, right? Wolf's goalie coach?

Harder to ask for a better group to develop Askarov. Damn, SJS might return to their annoyingly good status very, very soon.

 

[DG93]

Great trade and a perfect fit timeline wise. Next couple years will be about growing pains for the top prospects coming in (Smith, Macklin, Mukh, Dickinson, Musty) and for Warf as a new HC. Askarov coming in in a couple years would be just fine.

 

[Pia8988]

He's probably gonna play in the AHL this year.

His desire for a trade was to not

 

[Patty Ice]

This doesn't include their top 4 defensive prospects (Mukhmadulin, Dickinson, Thompson and Cagnoni).

And Thrun.

 

[Soundgarden]

What's the deal with Chrona and Burke ? Never heard of either of them

Good deal made here, think it does favor NSH a bit due to the fact that the extra 1st will be valuable to them in-season as a potential trade asset.

Burkes AHL fodder.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Love some crazy August moves.

I don't think we'll see SJ finish 32 again this season.

Nah they are still 32nd, this move doesn't change that, not this year anyway .

Could be massive in the future

 

[Superlative Soup]

That Vegas pick is unprotected and half the team needs to suit up in bubble wrap just to go grocery shopping. You never know...

However the division stinks

 

[TheBeard]

And Thrun.

He mentioned Thrun as the 7th D

Will be a team competing for the 1st overall pick again next year.

 

[TheBeard]

No, his desire for a trade was to not be stuck behind a goalie making 8 million a year for the next 8 years.

 

[Mrfenn92]

An elite goalie prospect lol.

Ok

 

[herzausstein]

His draft comparable in EP's guide that year was Boone Jenner. So it's fair to say I am very much in favor.

Ive seen Boone Jenner and Joel Ericsson Ek as comparables. So somewhere in there would be a nice addition.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Blackwood and Askarov is probably the most entertaining duo...and they will face a lot of rubber

Must watch for goalie enjoyers

 

[TheBeard]

Speer is the one that used to be at Everett, right? Wolf's goalie coach?

Yeah that's him.

I would't be jumping the gun just yet. SJ has had a lot of trouble developing goalies at the A level.

 

[BostonBob]

Basically San Jose traded away to Nashville what they got from Vegas in the Hertl deal.
