On November 18, eight days ago, the Sharks recalled Yaroslav Askarov from their school club.
At that moment, we all said the same thing:
Finally! We’ll see what he has in his stomach…
But here, let’s say that his stay in the National League was not super long.
The Sharks decided today to send their goaltender back to the American League.
I know someone who must not be happy right now…
Askarov must not be happy right now because he wants to play in the National League.
He asked the Preds to trade him so he could have a chance to play among the big ones…And there he is, back in the American League after playing only two games with the Sharks.
Besides, it’s not as if Askarov wasn’t good during his audition in San Jose:
- 3-2 defeat against the Blues – 29 saves on 31 shots
- Victory against the Kings – 22 saves on 24 shots
In two matches, Askarov has a record of one victory and one overtime loss. He has a save percentage of .927 and a goals against average of 1.96.
These are great statistics, we agree. And it is for this reason that in my eyes, and kid must not be happy with his club’s (bizarre) decision.
Especially in context, it’s not like the Sharks are in a playoff race right now. Why not give one of the best prospects in the world the opportunity to showcase himself, then? Unless they want to protect him?
It’s difficult to understand…
In burst
– Will it be claimed?
– Speaking of the Sharks.
– Logic.
– The former Alouettes is heading to Calgary.
