It's now official for Yaroslav Askarov and the Nashville Predators
Yaroslav Askarov, the Nashville Predators' top goalie prospect, has informed the organization that he will not report to their AHL affiliate and has requested a trade.
This news follows the Nashville Predators' decision to secure Juuse Saros with a long-term contract, which has likely limited Askarov's path to becoming the team's starting goaltender.
At 22, the former first-round pick seeks an opportunity elsewhere to take on a more prominent role. Yaroslav Askarov's request signals that a potential trade could be on the horizon.
