The San Jose Sharks have acquired 22-year-old goaltender Yaroslav Askarov from the Nashville Predators.
With the Nashville Predators committing long-term to Juuse Saros, Askarov sought an NHL role, avoiding more time in the AHL. San Jose, amid a rebuild, offers him that chance, with their current goaltending tandem of MacKenzie Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek providing space for Yaroslav Askarov to step in.
This move highlights the Sharks' focus on developing young talent as they retool their roster, making Yaroslav Askarov a potential cornerstone for their future. His addition is a significant step in the team's rebuilding efforts.
