Should they show interest? Sure. Realistically though, unless Nashville would take something like Toronto’s first this year and a B level prospect, it’s probably not a deal I’d make. Zero chance I’m parting with guys like Nazar, Moore or Rinzel. I like Askarov a lot, but I also really like Commesso and Gajan. You don’t need an elite goalie to win in the NHL, and I honestly think if the hawks are going to trade assets it should be to get another game breaker in the forward group

Imo yes. There likely won’t be another goalie of his caliber available for multiple years, and he’s the perfect age to build a core with him, Lev and Bedard. Nashville also need to shed cap space still, so we can take a small cap dump for a later round pick to sweeten the pot for them.

Sure, if reichel is enough

Yes they should show interest. I’m just worried about the cost. I’m also worried about the, currently, non existent roster spot for him.

Id love it but problem is he doesnt want to spend another year in the AHL, and we already have a set tandem at this point with mrazek/brossoit. So an askarov trade would mean we’d have to move one of those two guys

Yes. Considering Nashville is trying to go on an all in push Chicago should trade whatever we got for him. I wonder if Nashville would bite on Taylor Hall and a second or something like that.
Goalies of this caliber don’t come by often, and I’d be pretty pissed off if I was Askarov too knowing that Nashville is totally neglecting your development. So honestly, I think Nashville would take any substantially productive thing they could get.

Kyle has yet to make a trade for a player/prospect that could be part of that next playoff team, and this would be a great place to start.
Bonus for the revenge factor of Askarov facing his old team multiple times a year.
