2025 Fantasy Outlook
It's safe to assume, after a successful stint with AHL San Jose (11-9-1 record, 2.45 GAA and .923 save percentage), that Askarov will be in the NHL for 2025-26. Whether that's as a starter, a backup or a tandem goalie remains to be seen, though it shouldn't be long before that's not a question anymore. Askarov is the team's goalie of the future, and it won't be long before he's the clear starter leading the team's youth movement. Don't put too much weight on his NHL numbers from last year, as a 3.10 GAA and a .896 save percentage behind such an inexperienced team wasn't bad. Askarov will be a factor in fantasy, but his value will be determined by how much of a step forward the Sharks take as a unit. Read Past Outlooks

Prospect
Signed a two-year, $4 million contract extension with the Sharks in August of 2024.
Available for AHL club
Askarov (lower body) traveled with AHL San Jose and will be available for the Barracuda's matchups against Colorado on Friday and Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Askarov sustained a lower-body injury in mid-February but has been practicing recently and will be available to return to game action this weekend. Over 19 AHL appearances this year, he's gone 10-7-1 with a 2.52 GAA and .922 save percentage.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Askarov is the best goaltending prospect in pro hockey and his time will come, which could be in 2024-25 after he was acquired by the Sharks in a trade from Nashville. He has it all - elite skills, incredible feet and extraordinary quickness and athleticism. It certainly wasn't the backstop's skills that saw him shipped off the San Jose. The Preds are a team with cup aspirations and signed starter Juuse Saros to an eight-year extension. Askarov could be in contention for the starting job alongside Mackenzie Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek. It likely will take most of training camp for a decision to be made, so Askarov may need to be on your draft radar.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for starting role
Askarov will be the Sharks' No. 1 goalie to begin 2025-26, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Askarov will get the first look at a starting role for the Sharks, which should come as no surprise as the talented 23-year-old proved himself too good for the AHL last year. He won't go unchallenged for starts, as Alex Nedeljkovic will push Askarov, but it looks like the Sharks' goalie of the future is ready to take over the crease for the long run.
