[Michael Gallagher] Re: Askarov Barry Trotz was prepared for a trade request the moment he offered Juuse Saros that 8-year contract. From conversations I’ve had, the sense I get is Trotz & Askarov just clash too much personality-wise for Trotz to commit to him anything other taking it year by year

Trotz hates Gen Z confirmed.
Is it just me or does it feel like an official trade request hurts his value a bit
Unfortunate since Askarov should be a gem. But having Saros long term makes it easier to handle. I trust Trotz and his process.
Here come the redditors thinking they know more
Personally if I felt that way about my best asset when I took over the job, I’d move him before this point but what do I know.
I think people forget sometimes that as good as askarov has looked, he’s lost the net twice in playoffs when it matters most. I’m not sure why his agent is letting him buy into his own hype but this isn’t the power move asky thinks it is. Trotz won’t have an issue letting him sit and cool his jets
Askarov starting to sound like another Alex Radulov. So yeah, let’s get that trade over with and get what we can get for him.
Have we considered that maybe if he’s gonna shit his pants every May he’s probably not the guy we need?
