With the 11th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, the Nashville Predators have selected Yaroslav Askarov. ———————— Projection: Elite Goaltender ———————— Scouting Report: Askarov is widely expressed as “The best goaltending prospect since Carey Price”. Askarov is incredibly impressive. He’s dominated many international events over the years, but has also struggled in others. When he struggles, he tends to look small in the net and lets shots past his glove hand. When he’s on, Askarov is a mechanically sound goaltender with elite athleticism and an ability to make giant desperation saves. There is a good chance Askarov turns into a starting goaltender, even an elite one. ——————————— #NHLDiscussion #Askarov
