Confirmed Trade: [SJS/NSH] Yaroslavl Askarov, Nolan Burke, 2025 COL 3rd round pick for David Edstrom, Magnus Chrona, 2025 SJS/VGK 1st round pick (top 10 conditional)

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.

Makes a lot of sense.

He's been nonexistent in camp. Only time he's showed up was to talk up his mustache game

Kind of like that thing that was posted in this thread 5 hours ago, and was being discussed at length.

"Spittin Chiclets" ain't no media outlet, they're a purveyor of clickbait. You've been successfully clickbaited.

Imagine wasting time looking to reinforce an uninformed opinion rather than the actual context of the matter.

For those who prefer to be informed:

San Jose Sharks send goalie Yaroslav Askarov to AHL

On Friday, the San Jose Sharks announced that Yaroslav Askarov was sent to SJ Barracuda in the American Hockey League.

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:

https://x.com/i/web/status/1842261297670336883

There is no such thing as a legit Preds reporter. Our media coverage is and has always been absolute garbage. If you want Preds news go to the Preds HFboard, you are likely to get more info there than you will ever get out of our local media and probably 5 -10 days before they say anything.

There is basically an understanding that there is probably one or two of them that actually read the board just to come up with material because they are too lazy to get an actual scoop. We have more insider info than any of our local media has.

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.

It had nothing to do with the teams patience with Askarov. Askarov was told by Trotz that he would be given a chance in this camp to be the backup and play in the NHL. Wedgewood was signed simply for insurance in case Askarov didn't pan out ( which looking at the current news was a smart move ).

Askarov wanted out, so the team obliged his request. Nashville was in no hurry, its Askarov that was in a hurry.

Interesting. Young goalie likely just needs more development. Or he gets heaped onto the pile of the over hyped.

Hes injured, people really want a story where there is none

Has he asked to be traded yet?

 

[Mr Positive]

Hes injured, people really want a story where there is none

Plus when he was first traded both sides acknowledged he'd probably not be on the NHL roster at first

Askarov just wanted a path to earn the starters job. That is still very much the plan.

He was injured, I don’t think he even played a single pre season game

Can an injured player be sent down?

 

[coooldude]

Can an injured player be sent down?

Yes.

Nothing has changed in San Jose. Askarov is signed to a contract extension already, and seems very happy with the situation. Given his injury, this was all expected.

As I said last page... This is not the headline, or takeaway, that people seem to think it is.

Why send an injured guy to the minors? Makes no sense.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Why send an injured guy to the minors? Makes no sense.

Because they have to play NHL games next week and he hasn’t been in game situations in months.

 

[Cas]

Why send an injured guy to the minors? Makes no sense.

So that he can get playing time and up to speed, which Vanacek and Blackwood have already had.

 

[Fatass]

So he’s not injured and it’s the intent for him to play games in the minors to get his game back?
