[Weekes] **Breaking News** 🚨 📰 I’m told that Top Goalie Prospect Askarov has informed the @PredsNHL that he will not report to their @TheAHL team, and has requested a trade.

Personally I don’t want him starting over Saros, but if he’s this impatient I guess he’s gotta go. Hes not ready to be a starter on a successful NHL team, but maybe he can start on a struggling team that needs him. I was excited, this stinks
-August_West-
Fuck this dude if that’s the case. He’s not ready and couldn’t wait one more season?
G14mogs
Oh. Oh no
pacersrule
Dude, you got fucking pulled in the AHL playoffs man.
computalgleech
If this is true, fuck him, and Trotz made the right call.

It’s always the Russian players. Radulov 2.0
_Dirty_Commie_
This really feels like one of those moments where 5 years from now the Preds will have a third line center and 2nd pair D from the Askarov trade, be stuck with an aging Saros, and Askarov will be a top 3 goalie for a different team out there.
Clovis_Winslow
Reminds me of Radulov or the Tits brothers.
We don’t have good luck with Russians.
Soto4Life
Can’t say I’m suprised
degadale3
It’s hard to not feel like we didn’t fumble this
SantasScrotum
Lmao look at everyone coming out of the woodworks saying fuck this guy.
Yet another Preds prospect we’ll never get to see pan out. We should be used to it by now
SpeakNowAndEnter
Damn it. I really think he could have been the #2 behind Saros this year. If he goes off and becomes a superstar somewhere else I’m going to be pissed lol
Ready-steady
Now we get to see how the team will handle this. Bench him until we get the trade we want.
Legionnaire11
Dude is not with reality if he thinks he’s NHL ready. You hate to waste a 1st rounder but if this is his attitude then it’s hardly the Preds fault.

I am hyped to see how Askarov pans out in the NHL, but saying you are not going to report to work? The guy has the chance to become a franchise player for a franchise that loves their goalies over everything else.
Just do your job and you will get the call up. move. Trotz has made is CRYSTAL CLEAR that talent does not supercede effort. Do you think Trotz would keep any other player on the roster if they said this same thing?
This is the wrong mentality to have coming into this season.
Cilini
What is his leverage exactly? Is he going to threaten to go back to Russia where he was benched a whole season and is at risk to being drafted in the Ukraine war? Tell him to shut up and send him to Milwaukee anyways
Bluecricket5
Yea, idk why anyone is suprised lol. This was pretty much the guaranteed outcome once Saros got his contract. Get ride of him, he seems like a chemistry killer
Enginemancer
Well his trade value just went down. Teams aren’t going to want to give us much when they know he won’t play for us and we have to move him and probably this self entitlement isn’t very attractive to any would be buyer either
Lazites
You mean to tell me the Ads won’t have Asky or Goose?
Why did I even wake up today?
Rudmonton
Players that act like this do not pan out in the league very often. We don’t want a cancer in the locker room.
JakeTSlytherclaw
Really disappointed if not surprised to see this. The direction the team is headed this off season is to push for a cup NOW, so I hope we dig into that and get a current return to help us in that front. If we are gonna commit and go for it, do it fully. Don’t take future pieces for saros, take current talent to help us get there.
Uncle-Yeetus
Wonder what the return could be for him
emeraldraf
I’m not saying he isn’t talented but he also hasn’t finished a playoff in the AHL as a starter. I just hope trotz can get something good for him.
xiamhunterx
Will I finally be vindicated in my belief that we should have drafted Jarvis

We could have had Lindell wtf
