We also have an interview to go over, highlighting a few notes about Askarov’s overall package as a prospect.

So askarov could be an nhl goalie as soon as rinne retires
Let's go preds
10:43 has the best 😍💋 💝💖❤️
I'm shock Askarov fell to the Preds. I thought he would go from 5th to 8th. Not even a Preds fan, but Saros and Askarov will be nasty in the near future.
Askarov: wins the Calder
KHL media: And now, a moment of silence for Rex-kun
What was the secret word? lol Who's prospect is he? sounds like another Demko to me.

I was a bit skeptical about taking a goaltender during the draft instead of a goal scorer like the preds have needed for their entire existence. But, Ive warmed up to him now and am super hyped to see him in a Predators’ jersey. Lets go Preds!

Great vid! Nashville loves your channel! 🙂

Keep the Nashville content coming, i'm here for all of it.
Great video btw.
Loving the Preds content.
I can't comment on if Askarov is better than Wahlstedt BUT Askarov's antics (screening players when one of his defensemen is behind the net) against Team USA in the opening WJC game seals the deal for me. The kid is hilarious and will be fun to watch.
Of course, I'm a Preds fan and I'm very biased.
His butterfly is so deep ..: I would have traded up for him
