Top-15 pick from Nashville Predators demands a trade
Juuse Saros signed a lengthy contract extension with Nashville this off-season, and now it seems to be paving the way for the departure of a former high draft pick.
Juuse Saros' future has been a prominent topic in Nashville during recent trade deadlines, but this summer, both parties settled the discussion by agreeing to an eight-year contract worth $7.5 million annually.
Now, it seems former first-round pick Yaroslav Askarov is seeking a way out, as indicated by his agent Dan Millstein in a recent interview.
«Askarov has the potential & should become an elite goaltender in the NHL. Recently we have been working together with the club under different scenarios. Yaroslav has proven himself that he's an NHL player»
Considering Saros' consistent and productive performance, it's logical for the team to secure him for the long haul. However, now all indications suggest Askarov is seeking a departure.
Since Askarov is still young, there's no immediate pressure for a deal, but if he aims to start in the NHL, it's likely to become a significant topic of discussion in Nashville.
