Cam Robinson: The Chicago Blackhawks ought to be throughout buying Yaroslav Askarov. “Younger, probably elite goaltender to develop with their younger core. They usually have the items/draft capital to make a sound supply.”
Montreal Hockey Now: There may need been a time the place it will have made sense for the Montreal Canadiens to have an curiosity in Askarov however them focussing on buying a goaltender isn’t considered one of their points.
Evan Rawal: “I’d 100% be calling on Askarov if I’m the Avs to examine on the worth. I like Nabokov lots however you simply by no means know with goalies.”

However right here’s the factor: they very a lot haven’t soured on Ersson.
- The Flyers love Ersson’s psychological make-up. They like his expertise. They usually strongly consider that his poor end-of-year stats from 2023-24 have been the results of being overplayed over the ultimate two months. Principally, they consider his stretch run hunch was extra their fault, not his.”

Robby Stanley: (Stanley’s tackle the state of affairs): “This is on no account stunning. The Predators made a alternative once they gave Saros the brand new contract. Is it disappointing for the #Preds that he’s already requesting a commerce and threatening to not report in Milwaukee? Certain. However he clearly desires to maneuver on.”
Robby Stanley: With the Predators signing Scott Wedgewood in the beginning of free company to a two-year deal at a $1.5 million, Askarov wasn’t beating Wedgewood out of the backup place no matter what could be stated.
Michael Amato: “One factor I don’t get concerning the Askarov state of affairs is why didn’t NSH promote him this 12 months to tandem with Saros as an alternative of signing Wedgewood? Give him like 35 video games and ease Saros’ workload. Construct Askarov up for a pair years behind Saros after which transfer him for extra of a return.”
