2024 Fantasy Outlook

Askarov is the best goaltending prospect in pro hockey and his time will come, which could be in 2024-25 after he was acquired by the Sharks in a trade from Nashville. He has it all - elite skills, incredible feet and extraordinary quickness and athleticism. It certainly wasn't the backstop's skills that saw him shipped off the San Jose. The Preds are a team with cup aspirations and signed starter Juuse Saros to an eight-year extension. Askarov could be in contention for the starting job alongside Mackenzie Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek. It likely will take most of training camp for a decision to be made, so Askarov may need to be on your draft radar. Read Past Outlooks

August 23, 2024

Askarov signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Sharks on Friday, per PuckPedia.

ANALYSIS
Askarov was acquired in a trade with the Predators earlier in the day, and general manager Mike Grier didn't waste any time in getting the goalie into the Sharks' plans through 2026-27. The 22-year-old goalie is 1-1-0 with six goals allowed on 70 shots over three NHL appearances. Expect Askarov to have every chance to win the No. 1 job in San Jose in training camp, and if he proves to be NHL ready, he could jump-start the team's rebuild.

On his way to San Jose?

GNashville Predators

August 23, 2024

Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet is reporting that Askarov is being dealt to San Jose from Nashville on Friday.

ANALYSIS
Askarov requested a trade after the Predators signed goaltender Juuse Saros to an eight-year contract extension in the offseason. Askarov -- who was selected 11th overall in 2020 -- is the top prospect in the NHL between the pipes and will provide the Sharks with outstanding netminding, if dealt there. He was 1-0-0 in two NHL appearances this past season, stopping 33 of 35 shots. He excelled at the AHL level as well, going 30-13-1 with a 2.39 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 44 regular-season games with AHL Milwaukee.
