It may be the offseason for the Nashville Predators, but current players who are big parts of their future are playing currently in other venues.
There won’t be a bigger prospect for the Nashville Predators to keep an eye on for the next couple years than Yaroslav Askarov.
Askarov was, to the surprise of some, taken in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft back in October at the 11th-overall pick. He’s widely-regarded as the top goaltender prospect in the world.
