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

When he’s healthy I would expect he plays AHL games to get up to speed

Why Sharks Sending Askarov to AHL Makes Sense…For Now

Yaroslav Askarov is ready to roll. But not for the San Jose Sharks, not quite yet. Askarov, arguably the top goaltending prospect in the world, was assigned to the San Jose Barracuda on Friday morning. Askarov has yet to practice in Sharks training camp, after suffering a lower-body injury right...

Please, I beg of you, non-Sharks fans, stop trying to make this a story.

It's just to shit on the Sharks and Grier. It's okay.

That's good he was sent down to the AHL. Now people can still say he's the best goalie outside the NHL

What is so hard to fathom?

Go look up the information if you have questions but refuse the answers given. People have repeatedly said he has been injured this preseason. He had a lower body injury shortly after arriving in San Jose. There was no expectation for him to have a starting role this year on either party and an unfortunate injury prevented him from competing for an opening night spot. Now it will be better for him to get back to playing form with the Barracuda and go from there.

It's not rocket science.

The problem isn't asking the question, the problem is ignoring pages of discussion. It takes like 5 minutes to read a page or two of a thread before jumping in.

What is plan a here?

Is it one more year in minors while Blackwood and vanecek fight for 1 in NHL?

Or.

Wait till he's healthy and jettison one of Blackwood or vanecek?

He'll get healthy in the AHL, and get called up when blackwood or Vanecek get injured. One of them is likely gone at or before the deadline, and then he's full time with the Sharks and it's his starting position to win/lose.

Seems like a solid plan. I think he's going to be awesome. Sharks are in for hell this year but I think they are rebuilding nicely.

If he missed camp, I see him getting conditioned and playing regularly then getting called up with the plan of having him eligible for AHL playoffs. I dont know his game countdown and what triggers waivers.
