Yaroslav Askarov traded: Here are the prospects involved in the Canadiens' trade offer

Russian goaltender Yaroslav Askarov has been traded to the San Jose Sharks in a significant move for their rebuilding efforts.

At 22 years old, Askarov, along with a 2025 third-round pick and Nolan Burke, joins the Sharks in exchange for a 2025 first-round pick, David Edstrom, and Magnus Chrona.

The details of what the Canadiens would have needed to offer for Askarov are now clear: it would have required their 2025 first-round pick (from either the Flames or Panthers), a high-quality prospect like Owen Beck, and an AHL goaltender like Jakub Dobes.

Kent Hughes decided to retain his prospect, Owen Beck, who might surprise and make his NHL debut this season, having already played one game in the league during the 2022-23 season.
