At least it’s not Chicago?
Edstrom just came off a really solid year in the SHL as a 18 year old. I also expect Vegas to take a step back this year so that first rounder has a shot to be a lottery pick
Edit: the first rounder is top 10 protected which puts a damper on things a little, but still solid overall
Underwhelming but to be expected, oh well
Not that i’m wishing failure on Askarov but all year next year he’s gonna get absolutely pelted and it may affect if he reaches his potential or not
I’ll miss the hell out of Asky, but it is what it is. A Cup with this window will make this much easier to handle.
I need Barry Trotz to call Stillman. I am dying to hear what he has to say about how this all played out.
My bad I picked up an Askarov Ads jersey
Underwhelmed like most everyone, but I guess on the bright side, there’s a chance both San Jose and Vegas’s first round picks are lottery picks this year.
Not too bad considering it seemed Asky had more leverage. As much as I would’ve loved to have kept him, I was getting really tired of the trade rumors and I’m just glad it’s over
So with Goose gone and now Asky traded, does this mean Chrona is going to be the Ads starter?
If the Predators don’t win the cup in the next two or 3 years this has the potential to be gut-wrenching. I know he forced their hand, but you just traded the number one goalie prospect in the world, and the return is extremely questionable.
So now Afanasayev is going to come back from Russia to play with his bestie?
Not sure why everyone is underwhelmed? It’s basically two firsts for an unproven goalie who put in a trade request. That’s pretty good.
this You Suck chant is going to feel so good in bridgestone
Glad we got a first and a former first. Hopefully can translate into something good.
4pm Trotz on Stillman. I’m happy to post an update here if anybody can’t listen and wants it. I do a « Trotz Talks » summary for a friend every time he’s on anyway 😂
A former first round, big body center, another first, and a depth goalie. Could be worse, but I can’t help but reflect on this franchise’s horrible history with prospect development and retention.
So if I understand the conditional pick correctly, Nashville will get whichever San Jose pick ends up lower. So if both San Jose and Vegas suck, then we could still get a lottery pick out of this.
If you don’t like abandoning prospects, you don’t like Predators hockey.
This is going to make waiving tolvanen or trading Fiala look like smart moves.
We literally moved a potentially generational prospect for a late first and a B+ prospect. Criminal. All because he wasn’t a stoic vet who “does things the right way.”
Trotz just demonstrating that he doesn’t know how to GM, he only knows how to coach. Compare this return to mcgroarty or Gauthier trades and you’ll be see how bad it is.
Pathetic trade
Not a terrible return. with the 3rd going back I think it’s equivalent to a late first and a early second rounder. I was hoping we could get a young forward on a Entry level contract that could contribute some this year.
At this point if you’re gonna be upset, be upset at GMDP, not Trotzy. Crazy to ever have taken Asky with the future clearly belonging to Juice
Hey man we’ve got 3 first rounders next year that’s pretty damn good if you’re Barry trotz trying to be in a “win now and also be good later” mindset. Realistically Askarov was gonna be gone eventually anyway, his timeline and saros’s were a few years off from lining up perfectly like the Rinne Saros transition, and this franchise has shown they can train up good goalies from the later rounds anyways
I hope Askarov gets pelted in San Jose.
This is weak
Add Askarov to the list of players the Predators let go of too early and will inevitably burn us later.
Traded all because the GM can’t get along with him.
Also remember how they could have taken Cole Perfetti with the Askarov pick? Yup.
