Description

It is a big risk for the Devils moving a lot capital for a goalie who has barely played in the NHL, but young, good goalies are tough to come by. I also believe he does not have the starting role this year, but he could next season .

Trades

NJD

Askarov, Yaroslav
2024 4th round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Young, talented and with a huge amount of upside. With Nashville likely not letting go of Saros, would they move their soon to be starter? 4th to balance cost .

NSH

Mercer, Dawson
Schmid, Akira
2024 1st round pick (NJD)

Additional Details:

Mercer helps Nashville by being young with huge upside, Schmid comes back in a goalie for return, late 1st rounder balances cost.

He’s our future starter. Feel we are more likely to move Saros. Although the return is SUPER tempting so I’d consider.

WILD payment for a goalie with 1 career start. If I'm paying that, I want Ilya Sorokin

Satos in the summer for a smaller pkg than this.
Allows Askarov to get reps the rest if the season. Lankinen can help with the lift early next yr and Ask takes over.
Devs get a 1 yr placeholder until then. Alex Nedeljkovic in Pitt was suggested in a thread earlier, something like that (2 yr left mot top much avg) can maybe tandem I'm Devs system next yr.
We move Vitek abd Schmid can finish up growth in Utica.
