Yaroslav Askarov Trade: Friedman reveals what the Canadiens must offer in return
We have just learned that the name of young goaltender Yaroslav Askarov has been placed on the NHL trade market.
Many Montreal Canadiens fans and observers have expressed their interest in Askarov, who seems to be a future star goaltender.
However, what is the price to pay? Which player will Kent Hughes have to part with?
Elliotte Friedman Reveals the Price to Pay for Yaroslav Askarov
During an episode of his podcast 32 Thoughts, Friedman mentioned that the price asked by the Nashville Predators in exchange for the young goaltender Askarov is:
A- An established NHL player who would make sense in exchange for Askarov.
or
B- Another prospect with high potential who is not a goaltender, so a forward or a defenseman.
�They are looking for either an established NHL player who makes sense to acquire for Askarov, or another high-level prospect who isn't a goaltender, so a forward or a defenseman, that's what the Predators are seeking.'»
So, when it comes to the Montreal Canadiens, names like Joshua Roy, Owen Beck, Logan Mailloux, Michael Hage, and others come to mind.
Personally, I wouldn't make this trade, especially because I REALLY believe in Jacob Fowler, and I also think Samuel Montembeault is an excellent goaltender.
And you, do you think the Canadiens should target Yaroslav Askarov to secure their future in goal and find a potential successor to Carey Price?
