According to an NHL insider, Nashville Predators' goaltender Yaroslav Askarov requested a trade.
The Nashville Predators are a unanimous winner of the offseason. They signed three marquee free agents, bringing in Stanley Cup winners Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault and minute-eating defenseman Brady Skjei. Their team is drastically improved heading into the new season, a team that was already a playoff team last year.
"I'm told that Top Goalie Prospect Askarov has informed the @PredsNHL that he will not report to their AHL team, and has requested a trade," he wrote.The request from Askarov comes after months of uncertainty. The Predators drafted the Russian goaltender in the first round of the 2020 NHL Draft. The 22 year-old netminder has been one of the best prospects in hockey over the last few seasons, and received two starts in the NHL over the last two campaigns.
