Nashville Predators send Russian goaltending prospect Yaroslav Askarov to San Jose Sharks for first-round pick
The San Jose Sharks acquired prized goaltending prospect Yaroslav Askarov from Nashville in a deal Friday that sends a 2025 first-round pick to the Predators.
The Sharks immediately signed Askarov to a two-year extension worth $4-million to keep him under contract through the 2026-27 season. The Sharks ranked last in the NHL over the past five seasons with a 3.32 goals against average and their .897 save percentage is second worst in that span. “I know from my own personal experience, when you have a guy back there who you really believe in and can win games for you, it makes you play a lot freer and be willing to go out there and not have to worry about things so much. I think it’ll help our whole group. It’s a really big day for our franchise.”
