Seravalli: Predators shopping Askarov, possibly going to Montreal

[TySmith4Norris]

And if those teams don't want 14+15? We just traded Askarov for no reason.

Assume that would be agreed to beforehand

I don’t actually think he gets moved for the record, just spitballing on a possibility

 

[Lockin17]

Maybe, hard to gauge Askarov’s value.

This year Askarov would come out in the second rd

Sounds like you just want Pittsburgh to fix their goaltending.

Yes?

 

[KevinRedkey]

DeBrincat?

 

[Soundgarden]

Yes?

That ignores the other teams needs.

DeBrincat?

Is a winger.

Trotz I am begging you to stop

He said he was gunna do something bold

Not seeing how pick 14 wouldn’t benefit Nashville if the goal is to move up

Bold or Bald?

 

[DrDangles]

The only team that makes sense to me is Montreal, but 15th + Askarov doesn't get you 5th overall.

We already drafted Askarov at 11th and he's improved his draft stock since then. At best it'd be a lateral move because of the strength of this draft.

 

[Scintillating10]

Wonder if they would move Saros instead? Both good goalies

 

[SI90]

The devils should be all over this.

 

[Michoulicious]

All 2019 1st rounders belongz to Montrealz

Edit: My bad he's 2020

 

[JKG33]

I'd offer Byfield. Ya'll can have Arvidsson back too in some kinda deal

 

[BB88]

Maybe Habs?
5th for Askarov + 15th

Makes a bit of sense with the Newhook move

Newhook isn’t that guy

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Trotz needs to just simmer down. I know he really wants to make a big splash as the host team at the Draft, but he can't let himself get too carried away.

And it's not like he'll be "widely shopping" Askarov or anything. It's just, he has been dreaming of getting into the top-5 of the draft, and previously probably wasn't ready to commit Askarov into that quest, only to find out nobody is listening if he doesn't at least show this willingness to put him on the table. It probably still won't be enough. But he's down to his last ditch effort. That's the only scenario in which Askarov is in play.

Askarov to Habs

 

[Michoulicious]

Devils don't have a top 10 picks. My guess is he tries to move there with a combination of Askarov + #15 +?

 

[kevsh]

This is doing something bold.

Trading a really good goalie prospect in a league where top end goaltending is as rare as a crowd cheering Bettman, is not bold, it's crazy.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Ship him to MTL please

 

[Filthy Dangles]

jesus...lol. clueless.

 

[violaswallet]

Askarov to Habs

If the Habs want to trade down, that's one hell of a package: 15th+Askarov+Edmonton's 1st?

 

[Lockin17]

Habs : #5
for
Preds : Askarov + #15 +#24

 

[eojsmada]

Pretty interesting idea by Trotz. Askarov is a 50/50 goalie for me. He's capable of being good, but hasn't shown it in best on best action and didn't light it up in the AHL playoffs. Very bold move, though, considering he's only JUST 21.
