Askarov

Askarov is a very nice prospect but he has not done enough to warrant that return.

Holtz 1 for 1

It might be an overpayment for him but you say him for Holtz one for one as if Holtz has proven himself at the NHL level lol...I understand he doesn't get a ton of playing time but you're not getting the league's best goalie prospect for an unproven scorer

Wallstedt is the best goalie prospect imo.

Holtz went higher in the draft, has shown a lot more at the NHL level. Goalies are unpredictable.

Also did I mention Nashville’s head coach loves Alex Holtz, was his biggest supporter in Jersey.

Fair enough on Wallstedt. I feel like the draft is an inaccurate comparison because goalies are so weird. I do think Holtz will be a solid second line goal scorer but my point is that Nashville will ask for quite more.

NHL front offices generally show how they value goalie prospects. Which is way lower than that of position players. Which is why they get drafted so low.

I don’t think what Askarov has done at the AHL level has been enough to boost his stock to being significantly more than Holtz (who also dominated the AHL, but back 2 years ago when he was 19)

Specifically since they have Saros and their coach specifically really likes holtz.

Maybe a secondary pieces could be added but I just can’t see the logic behind a large value gap.
