Emma Lingan: Nashville Predators GM Barry Trotz: “We’re conscious of the report at the moment and our expectation is for the participant to report back to coaching camp and compete for a job in September.”
Michael Gallagher: Dan Milstein, Askarov’s mentioned “no remark” when requested concerning the commerce request.
Who’s, isn’t interested by Yaroslav Askarov
Michael Gallagher: Have been advised to regulate the Carolina Hurricanes and San Jose Sharks relating to Askarov.
Cam Robinson: The Chicago Blackhawks must be throughout buying Yaroslav Askarov. “Younger, probably elite goaltender to develop with their younger core. They usually have the items/draft capital to make a sound supply.”
Montreal Hockey Now: There may need been a time the place it will have made sense for the Montreal Canadiens to have an curiosity in Askarov however them focussing on buying a goaltender isn’t one among their points.
Evan Rawal: “I’d 100% be calling on Askarov if I’m the Avs to verify on the worth. I like Nabokov rather a lot however you simply by no means know with goalies.”
Dan Kingerski: The Pittsburgh Penguins received’t be interested by Askarov they usually received’t wish to spend the property wanted to land him they usually have two goalie prospects who’re near being NHL-ready in Joel Blomqvist and Sergei Murashov.
Charlie O’Connor: It could be a shock if the Philadelphia Flyers went after Askarov. The Flyers season appears set with Sam Ersson and Ivan Fedotov and Askarov needs an NHL roster spot.
- Charlie O’Connor: “Solely means an Askarov commerce makes any sense to me is that if PHI has soured on Ersson, and are prepared to switch him with Askarov, whether or not by together with him within the commerce or sending him elsewhere. However right here’s the factor: they very a lot haven’t soured on Ersson.
- The Flyers love Ersson’s psychological make-up. They like his expertise. They usually strongly imagine that his poor end-of-year stats from 2023-24 have been the results of being overplayed over the ultimate two months. Mainly, they imagine his stretch run hunch was extra their fault, not his.”
Media ideas on the Yaroslav Askarov scenario
Robby Stanley: (Stanley’s tackle the scenario): “This is on no account shocking. The Predators made a alternative once they gave Saros the brand new contract. Is it disappointing for the #Preds that he’s already requesting a commerce and threatening to not report in Milwaukee? Positive. However he clearly needs to maneuver on.”
Robby Stanley: With the Predators signing Scott Wedgewood at the beginning of free company to a two-year deal at a $1.5 million, Askarov wasn’t beating Wedgewood out of the backup place no matter what could be mentioned.
Michael Amato: “One factor I don’t get concerning the Askarov scenario is why didn’t NSH promote him this 12 months to tandem with Saros as an alternative of signing Wedgewood? Give him like 35 video games and ease Saros’ workload. Construct Askarov up for a pair years behind Saros after which transfer him for extra of a return.”
