Huge last-minute development regarding a trade involving Yaroslav Askarov
Let's see what reputable Frank Seravalli just published.
This is big.
"As #preds attempt to make a splash as #NHLDraft hosts, lots of chatter that goaltender Yaroslav Askarov is in play.
Askarov was the 11th overall pick in 2020, coming off a real solid first season with AHL Milwaukee."

Is this a desperate attempt to secure the Canadiens' 5th overall pick? It's worth noting that Trotz has previously engaged in discussions with Kent Hughes about this high-value pick.
Seen as the NHL's next goaltending superstar, the Russian netminder and former 11th overall pick of the 2020 Draft has made waves. At just 21, he transitioned to North America this season, posting impressive AHL statistics with a 2.69 average and a 0.911 save percentage over 48 games.
With the 15th and 24th picks in this draft, the Nashville Predators could make a compelling offer. Would a package including these two selections, plus Askarov, entice you to part with a potentially pivotal pick that could be used to draft Matvei Michkov?
Wow, that would be huge!
He's definitely a solid goaltender with a bright future.
