Juuse Saros inked a long-term extension in Nashville this off-season, and now, it appears to be leading to the departure of a former top pick.

The future of Juuse Saros has been a major talking point in Nashville for the past few trade deadlines, but the two parties put that conversation to bed this summer, inking him to an eight-year deal worth $7.5 million AAV.

Juuse Saros, signed to an 8x$7.5M extension by NSH, is a high-end starting goalie who's led the league in games played for three consecutive seasons while finishing top 6 in Vezina voting for four straight years. Even in his down-year in 2023-24 he was just mid. #Preds

Now, former first-round pick Yaroslav Askarov appears to want out, with his agent Dan Millstein hinting towards that in a recent interview.

Yaroslav Askarov's agent Dan Milstein recently spoke to a Russian news outlet about his future 👇

«Askarov has the potential & should become an elite goaltender in the NHL. Recently we have been working together with the club under different scenarios. Yaroslav has proven himself that he's an NHL player»

Given Saros' production and consistency, it makes sense for the team to keep him long-term, but now, all signs are point to Askorov asking out.

It seems inevitable that Yaroslav Askarov will be traded by #Preds. How long might it take, and why Barry Trotz can show patience and eventually get his high asking price.

Given that Askarov is still young, a deal doesn't have to happen soon, but if he has desires to start in the NHL, expect it to become a major talking point in Nashville.
