I thought this too. Might have to throw Lyon in too or make a seperate trade. I'm not trading for Askarov to be in the AHL, I would hope he'd get significant time behind Talbot.
That's what I voted on the poll. But I also think another team can beat that offer. It all depends what Nashville values in the trade. Do they want another goalie prospect back? And if so, are they high on the Wings prospects? Do they want any salary at all coming back?
But yeah, I think Askarov is ready to get NHL games. He's 22, he's been the primary starter in the AHL for two seasons, so he's ready to start cutting his teeth in the NHL.
I'm high as hell on Askarov but I can see Yzerman being more than content waiting on Cossa and Augustine.
