Nashville Trades Askarov to the San Jose Sharks

26 comments

1. Never have I ever said a trade should happen that actually came true. Until today.

   I'm basically a GM now right?

2. Askarov is still pretty raw. I'm still not sold on him but I hope this works out for GM Grier and the SJS

   For that reason, I'm giving the early win to the guy who solved the biggest problem i.e GM Trotz

3. Vanecek can ride the bench

4. Thanks for covering this news 👍. Loved Askarov on the admirals

5. So vitek going to the either the buyout or buried? Fitzy made the right move not trade for him.

6. Edstrom getting passed around like a joint

7. Both Vanacek and blackwood are on 1 way contracts eh?

8. Keanu Reeves signs one-day contract with Windsor Spitfires

   😊

9. Very tidy piece of work for Grier. And this deal makes sense for Nashville as well since Askarov wasn't gonna be getting very many NHL games any time soon with Saros' extension.

10. i wanted askarov in a leafs uniform.
    this sucks. leafs are stupid for not aggressively pursuing this guy.
    what are the chances the leafs make a big trade with the sharks?

11. Fantastic San Jose, Islanders fan here, Russian goalies rule!!!

12. I don't watch season previews in August. Because so much can change in August up until training camp. People care about previews that discuss players that are actually on the team.

13. LETS GO SHARKS BABY

14. He askaroved for a trade.

15. I think San Jose is doing great things for the future, excited to see how things turn out.

16. Shannon, Askarov just got traded to the Sharks… you should make a video about it

17. I know you dont redo previews, but a fair amount has happened in San Jose now that maybe some sort of "how bright is the future in San jose" video would make sense? Idk I'm not the Youtuber, but I would be interested to know how your opinion has changed (if at all) on SJ

18. I wonder if the Sharks won't turn around and trade a goalie? Dominoes…

19. San Jose fans have to be licking their chops. Grier got them a long term goalie, without giving up much at all. As I mentioned last week, Trotz is not a smart individual, talent wise. Great move for the Sharks. This will expedite them moving up 2 to 3 years faster. I wonder what the Canadiens offered?

20. SJ love a good Russian goalie!

21. You didn't touch on it, but currently the condition on the 1st is it's the worst between SJ's and Vegas's. Logic dictates that it'll be Vegas's, but I think making that point is a sign by Grier that he believes that San Jose could be MUCH better than last year. Even if it's not realistic, if the goal is for management to show confidence in the squad, this is a way to do it, to say, "Hey, there's a chance we do better than Vegas this year."

22. a bit bummed as a preds fan. askarov should have a higher ceiling than Saros, bobrovsky, vasilievsky, shesterkin…if not better. So expected like 2 first round picks. He will be great in Sharks. New Nabokov.

23. Preds sold awfall cheap,did san jose throw in a bag of pucks

24. If Askarov becomes a starting-calibre goalie than San Jose is laughin’.

25. His career is dead.

26. Exciting times. The rebuild is almost complete. They got their star goalie, their star D-man, and a slew of star forwards. Now just some depth and a couple years of growing pains and they should be a wild card team.
