You don't make Goalies in a microwave, you make them in a crock pot. I would NEVER use a high pick on a goalie. By the time he's ready to start, you will be lucky if you still have a job.There was no guarantee Bob was signing with Florida, I would say it was BPA and precaution
Askarov is not "almost NHL ready" give him 3 years at least, I would say Knight is on about the same time line, 3 more years.I wouldn't do this as Carolina. By all accounts Askarov has the higher ceiling and is also almost NHL ready.

If Florida wants to move Knight then Detroit should be very interested.
To Florida:
4th overall and the Oilers 2nd round pick.
To Detroit:
Knight and Florida's 1st round pick (I think it's 12th)
Assuming of course that Stutzle and Byfield are gone at 4.
Why not just trade back a couple spots to #8-10, acquire some assets and then draft Askarov?
Isn't that a massive waste ? Trade a great goalie prospect to pick another one . Reminds me of what the Isles did under Milbury when they traded Luongo to pick DiPietro and have him be the franchise goalie .
Knight is closer to being ready plus I also think he is better.
Ya i don't see FLA wanting to move on from him, seems like a good egg.
Tall, lanky, solid compact movements and had a great first year at BC
I don't know what Florida is doing in net. Why pick Knight if you're committing long to Bob? Now you want to scrap the kid you picked and do it over again? Jesus man. Pick a road and drive on it.
Who ahead of you is taking Askarov? He has a higher ceiling than Knight so just draft him
The way Florida defense is playing it’s likely Spencer Knight will quickly be declared a bust playing for themThe way Bob has been playing with the Panthers there's a decent chance Bob is going to be Knights backup in a couple of years.
