Preds acquire prospects, first-round pick in Askarov deal

Faced with a discontented prospect requesting out of the system, Barry Trotz was able to use that prospect’s extraordinary ceiling as leverage in a trade.

The #SJSharks have acquired Yaroslav Askarov, a 2025 third-round pick and Nolan Burke from the #preds for a 2025 first-round pick, David Edstrom and Magnus Chrona.

The pick is either the Vegas Golden Knights’ or the Sharks’ own; they reserved the option. Edstrom is a forward prospect, and Chrona a young goalie who played in the AHL last season.
