Makes sense. He’s been injured all camp

Yeah, this isn't the headline people think it is. For one, he hasn't played a minute at camp. For two, he already said he'd report to the AHL and they've already signed him to a 2 year bridge extension contract, so his path in SJ is clear. He'll likely get 10-20 starts this year with injuries to Vanecek or Blackwood, and then next year it's his position to lose.

No, I‘ll stick to the literal headline that says he was cut and sent to the AHL
The thing that every informed person knew was going to happen happened. Can’t wait to see the hot takes that some will undoubtedly post.

Absolutely stupid reporting. He's f***ing injured.
Breaking news: David Reinbacher told to stay away from the Canadians organization for the year.

Whoosh.
Look at the emojis. People are "laughing" and "shocked" and nobody should be.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say he's a fan of one of the teams that tried and failed to get Askarov.
Wild how many haters a kid who has two NHL games has.
Hahaha! Poverty franchise! Grier is a clown! Askarov shown to be a bust! LOL
On an completely unrelated note would you be willing to trade said bust? He is basically worthless so we... uh.... can't give you much for him.
Asking for a friend.
It's Stan Bowman. In Edmonton.
Oh god please trade him to us.

This is why I'd never draft a goalie in the top half of the 1st round.
Askarov has developed well, has a good chance to be a decent #1.
Nashville traded him for a pick much lower than they used on Askarov originally.
Why waste all that time / development? Good goalies are always traded for an underwhelming return; see Askarov, Markstrom, Ullmark.
To be fair, if they didn't have Saros, they'd have been more patient with Askarov.
It's best to just trade for goalies when you need one.

He's still waiver-exempt and the Sharks have 2 vets on roster. I think this disproves the "refused to go to AHL" stuff. I think he'll likely be called up pretty quickly into the season. Saying he was "cut" is a bit harsh, this isn't the NFL where he's now free to sign with any team or get claimed off waivers, the better phrasing is that he was "assigned" to the AHL.

The way to say it is "Askarov is injured, hasn't played a preseason game, and didn't have the opportunity to steal an NHL role on a team with two legit established NHL goaltenders already on it, so he's going to the AHL to get up to game speed before the Sharks make any decision".

Well yes sure with the full context, but I just mean in terms of reporting the roster decision. "Cut" is an NFL term.

Oh absolutely. But my point is that this is being deliberately framed as some failing of Askarov by people who want to see him fail.
I mean, look at this incredibly stupid, uninformed, and sour tweet by a supposedly legit Preds reporter:

Tweets aren't headlines because they aren't an article and don't provide additional information or context.
Shocking update as the Canadians management have demanded that Patrick Laine stay away from ALL team activities until further notice. I've also been told that the team has absolutely no use for him on the ice at this time.

In what way? Genuine question, I don't know anything about this guy other than that he has a blue check mark (I know, I know) and hates Askarov.
BPA with the highest potential. We did have a plan laid out but he/his agent were inpatient.
Getting a 1st and a recent 1st is decent considering he asked out.
I understand. If Saros wasn't a star, or had moved on, Nashville would have kept Askarov for sure.

By and large nobody takes the local Nashville media seriously when it comes to anything hockey-related.
