2024 Fantasy Outlook
Askarov is the best goaltending prospect in pro hockey and his time will come, which could be in 2024-25 after he was acquired by the Sharks in a trade from Nashville. He has it all - elite skills, incredible feet and extraordinary quickness and athleticism. It certainly wasn't the backstop's skills that saw him shipped off the San Jose. The Preds are a team with cup aspirations and signed starter Juuse Saros to an eight-year extension. Askarov could be in contention for the starting job alongside Mackenzie Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek. It likely will take most of training camp for a decision to be made, so Askarov may need to be on your draft radar. Read Past Outlooks

Strong game despite Oil slick
GSan Jose Sharks
December 21, 2024
Askarov made 39 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to Edmonton on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
It was a personal best for the 22-year-old Askarov in terms of saves in the NHL. He was sharp for sure, but the duo of Connor McDavid (three assists) and Leon Draisaitl (GWG) were a lot to handle for the Sharks' goalie of the future. Askarov is in town for only a couple of weeks until Vitek Vanecek (upper body) gets back from injury. The young netminder showed well Saturday and could be a solid option in daily formats given his skill.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely headed back to minors
GSan Jose Sharks
November 25, 2024
Askarov will probably be sent back to AHL San Jose eventually, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
According to Pashelka, the move to demote Askarov will likely come once Nico Strum, who is out with an upper-body injury, is ready to be activated off injured reserve, which will make keeping three goaltenders more difficult. Additionally, the Sharks probably don't want the 22-year-old Askarov just sitting in the press box or on the bench, so a move back to the minors would afford him more chances to play.
