The Nashville Predators are committed to Juuse Saros and could look to trade top prospect Yaroslav Askarov.
that the Predators and Saros were closing in on an eight-year contract extension, meanwhile Askarov, 22, was a first-round pick in 2020 and is developing into one of the best goaltending prospects in the league. Askarov has put up very impressive numbers throughout his two seasons at the American Hockey League level, and last season in two appearances with the Predators, recorded one win and a .943 save percentage.
I think a lot of teams have now gotten the sense that the Preds are looking for a back up goalie to play under Saros. Askarov, the plan is to send him to AHL Milwaukee. If you’ve just signed Saros to an eight-year deal, there is zero point having a goalie of that pedigree sitting in the AHL. So, he becomes an immediate trade target and I’m really curious to see who tries to step up and land a player like that.Exactly, it does really become a prime trade chip for Barry Trotz to use.
