When general manager Barry Trotz opted to extend Juuse Saros' future in Nashville by eight years, the future of Askarov in Nashville was hard to imagine.
One of the key contributors to that plan was Director of Goaltending Mitch Korn. Korn spent many hours preparing a comprehensive developmental program for Askarov.
Barry Trotz expressed disappointment in the outcome, stating, 'It's disappointing because they put in a lot of hours.' This highlights the effort invested in Askarov's development.
The Predators prepare development plans for all drafted players, outlining expectations and benchmarks over the next five to seven years for their future in the NHL.
