I bet you're right -- Askarov gets picked with the 13th overall. And I'll also bet it won't belong to you.
Roy is one of only 3 defensemen we have on the right side who's NHL-capable, and we have no one to promote from within, so trading him would just mean we'd have to go out and sign a free-agent RD. On the other side, we have Michael Anderson, Tobias Bjornfot and Kale Clague trying to break in to the League, so Dermott isn't the sort of guy we want to acquire.
