Former New Jersey Devils goaltender and NHL Insider Kevin Weekes reported earlier today that Nashville Predators goaltending prospect Yaroslav Askarov will not report to the Predators’ AHL club and wants a trade.
Askarov has been linked to the NJ Devils at times over the past 6 months or so.
Should Devils’ GM Tom Fitzgerald be working the phones right now?
Could Askarov be the New Jersey Devils goaltender of the future?
I discuss all of this and more in this video.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

I still hold a grudge against Fitz for not getting Saros. 100% believe he could have if he wanted to. Getting Askarov would definelty grant him some forgiveness lol
Brodeur isn't getting rid of his buddy Allen. You wanted goalies right away and now you got them. Rushed temporary fix to what could've been a long-term solution. Smh. Word is Markstrom given his age is looking at nursing homes rather than houses in NJ.
I think the Devils will pass on Yaroslav Askarov and trade Nathan Bastian, Nico Daws, Nolan Foote, Arseni Gritsyuk, a 2025 4th-rounder, and a 2026 conditional 5th-rounder to the Bruins for Jeremy Swayman if the Bruins don't sign Jeremy to a long-term contract extension.
I agree. If we have the opportunity to land Askarov… you 100% put him as the back up and let Allen go.
My concern with the idea of going after Askarov is what his re-signing price will be after this season as well as if he would be willing to spend this season in Utica. I just can't see NJ trading away Allen to put Askarov in his place, while ALSO having Daws waiting even longer in Utica. Would Askaraov turn into a pain in the ass to deal with when trying to get him to work with the team's plans. I would love to have him in the pipeline, absolutely. I just don't want to end up with another headache.
Trade Casey and a goalie prospect or allen and like a 2nd or 3rd. Make it happpppen!!!!
I just fear they like Allen more than they should and that’s gonna impact them not going after Askarov
Do player videos, past and present. Would bring a lot of fans old and new to the channel.
Habs got laine for absolutely zero. I would of taken a chance on him for nothing
Ace Should be ALL OVER His Summer Reading
Malek and Poulter are better
Ah finally, some content. Miss your vids, Ace! Yeah I agree we should definitely try to see if we could land Askarov…he could be had for little assets, and has a much more promising future, IMO. Not too high on Daws…yeah he's made some good saves, but he's also made some really bad mistakes too. I think we should keep Mercer, and save him to possibly #BringBradytoNJ
I've been pretty outspoken about wanting Askarov for a while in older comment sections. I think he's worth it if the price is right… Who knows, maybe it finally won't be a sky high ask from Trotz anymore 😅
Ideally for both the preds and devils and askarov himself, askarov plays out with the preds this season as a backup and then we get him when allen leaves. And then when markstrom leaves askarov and daws battle it out for the starting job.
I have no faith in Allen. He’s gonna get exposed this year. Get Askarov!! LGD!!
