Makes sense. He’s been injured all camp

 

[coooldude]

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.

 

[Barry Tallackson]

No, I‘ll stick to the literal headline that says he was cut and sent to the AHL

 

[Mattb124]

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.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Absolutely stupid reporting. He's f***ing injured.

 

[Laus723]

No, I‘ll stick to the literal headline that says he was cut and sent to the AHL

you go ahead and literally do that.

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.

Critical thinking is your friend.

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.

 

[TFHockey]

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.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Poe's law is in full effect it seems...

 

[zenator]

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:

[Shark Finn]

Well.. He hasn't played at all because he is injured.

 

[Bizz]

Tweets aren't headlines because they aren't an article and don't provide additional information or context.

 

[TheBeard]

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.

More to come...

"Supposedly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

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.
