Hard to blame him. He’ll never realize $$$ without playing

He’s already spent 2 years in the minors and needs the playing time to keep developing. With Saros locked in for 8 years, Askarov either has to…
– Continue to develop in the AHL and hoping for an injury to Saros to get some playing time in the NHL
– Be a backup in the NHL and see a massive drop in minutes played (bad for his development)
– Seek a trade to another team with less obstacles to playing in the NHL.
Nashville is in win now mode and probably aren’t as focused on longterm development plans. If Askarov doesn’t see a path to playing in the NHL with Nashville, it’s understandable he’d want to play somewhere else.

Unless there’s a monumental fall off from Saros he’s not getting that opportunity in Nashville. Sucks for him, he’s probably going to be pretty good but he’s behind another guy who’s really good and in his prime years

How about a 1 for 1 trade? Could i interest you in another hot head goalie in Merzzy for a back up. Could possibly throw in a slightly used laine for future considerations 😉
