In the latest NHL 24 trade simulation, the San Jose Sharks acquired Yaroslav Askarov and Nolan Burke from the Nashville Predators, raising questions about future goalie roles.
Askarov, 22, is considered one of the top goalies outside the NHL, a two-time AHL All-Star, and notably requested a trade after the Predators secured an elite starter.
The trade hinges on the Sharks' decision between their own 2025 first-round pick or Vegas’ pick, indicating strategic considerations in draft positioning.
Despite NHL 24 valuing the Sharks’ 2025 first-round picks higher than Askarov, the deal seems beneficial as the Predators already have Juuse Saros secured long-term.
