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