Per Kevin Weekes, top goaltender prospect Yaroslav Askarov has requested a trade from the Nashville Predators and has informed the team he will not report to its AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals.



The news comes after the Nashville Predators signed goaltender Juuse Saros to an eight-year, $61.92M extension on July 1 to keep the Finnish goaltender in Nashville for the next nine seasons. The extension made the starting position in Nashville unlikely for Askarov in the near future, a role the 22-year-old Russian and his agent Dan Milstein believe Askarov should have in the NHL sooner rather than later.
