Yaroslav Askarov was cut from the San Jose Sharks during training camp, highlighting his unpreparedness for the NHL. The Sharks, the league's worst team last season, opted for other goalies, indicating a lack of confidence in Askarov's readiness.
After being traded from the Nashville Predators, where he faced challenges due to Juuse Saros' long-term contract, Askarov is now set to develop with the Sharks. His contract doesn't begin until next season, allowing him time to grow and potentially earn a spot in the NHL.
