Don’t have to be a preds fan to answer that’s a no, askarov is a developed top flight goalie prospect starting his pro career in NA

His adjustment time in NA aligns perfectly with saros contract term.

Trading him for some magical beans hoping you get as good as a prospect as he is is just silly, you would have to make it really worth the preds for them to consider it

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Why gamble when you know you likely already have a winner in Askarov

Preds are set up perfectly to transition from saros to askarov having an elite starter in the league for another decade.

You don’t mess with that franchise plan on the hopes you find more offense (realistically don’t see that player in the nhl at an impactful level for 2-3 years if at all)

"Gamble" is the operative word.

I can understand why the Preds don't do the deal, but I don't think the Habs should either. There are plenty of UFA goalies this summer, and even if some are short term, I think it's better to keep the 8th overall.
Consider some of the defensive play by the Habs this season, maybe goaltending isn't their biggest issue.
