Why would the Preds trade a alleged #1 goalie who is under contractual control?

They don't have to... But they will eventually.
With Saros locked up, Askarov's not going to patiently wait 8 years to get an opportunity to be a #1. Plus, he could walk as a UFA before the contract ends.
The logical conclusion is, Nashville will end up trading Askarov once they get their asking price. There was a report last year that they wanted to trade Askarov + their first round pick for our 5th overall pick. I wonder if they're looking at something along those lines again.

Why you dangling that carrot Sal. So mean in the mornings.

They are resigning Saros. Askarov is about ready. Likely won't be happy.

It was a rhetorical question.
This makes me wonder about Askarov…

Interesting. I thought his numbers in Milwaukee were absurdly good.

Friedman also said many scouts (within Preds org & outside) question Askarov’s mental fortitude for the position - apparently gets down on himself very easily which then effects his game

So dumb. Goalies don't get consistent until mid to late 20s

Game of chicken is on…does Stamkos yield or does he take Brisebois’ tactic as a personal affront?

His kids are older now... He may go for the retirement contract elsewhere.

No way. He's hated. There's a legit rivalry in Florida.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Yeah, between the half dozen Bolts fans and the half dozen Panthers fans.

Both franchises could fold this afternoon and almost no one in Florida would notice or care. (and no Canadian NHL fan would give a shit either) The people who would care deeply are players, coaches, managers, and agents. Fewer golfing opportunities, a couple fewer no tax cities in the league. But they could always just get relocated into markets that do give a shit, like Quebec City and Hartford. QC will never be low tax, let alone no tax, and no one will ever confuse downtown Hartford with South Beach, but people who live in those places actually care.

You're really just calling yourself a douche because (allegedly) you and I are now viewed as being the same person
