Nashville Predators trade goalie Yaroslav Askarov to San Jose Sharks. Here are the details

The Nashville Predators traded goaltender Yaroslav Askarov, considered the team's top prospect, to the San Jose Sharks for a first-round pick in 2025 and a former first-round draft pick on Friday.

The Sharks will send Vegas' 2025 first-round pick, center prospect David Edstrom and goalie prospect Magnus Chrona to the Predators.

As part of the deal, if Vegas’ first-round selection in the 2025 NHL Draft falls within the Top 10, San Jose has the right to transfer either its first-round pick or Vegas’ to Nashville.

In addition to Askarov, the Predators will send a third-round pick in 2025, and Milwaukee Admirals forward Nolan Burke.

The trade comes on the heels of reports this week that Askarov was seeking a trade from the organization . The Predators drafted Askarov with the No. 11 overall pick in 2020.

Askarov, 22, has played in three games for the Predators. He has a 1-1-0 record with a .914 save percentage in the NHL.

Askarov has played in 92 career games for the AHL's Admirals, going 56-29-6 with a .911 save percentage.

Nashville Predators acquire David Edstrom, Magnus Chrona along with 2025 first-round pick

The Predators added Vegas' first-round pick in the 2025 draft, which the Sharks acquired in a March 8 deadline deal that sent Tomas Hertl to the Golden Knights. The Sharks can elect to send their own draft pick instead of Vegas' if it's falls in the top 10 of the draft.

Nashville now has three first-round picks in the 2025 draft.

Edstrom, whom the Predators also acquired in the deal, was selected No. 32 overall in the 2023 draft by the Golden Knights. He was also traded to the Sharks as part of the Hertl deal.

Edstrom, 19, signed his three-year, entry level contract with the Sharks last summer, but he remained in Sweden to play with Frolunda in the Swedish Hockey League. As a result, his contract slid one year, so he is under contract through 2027.

Chrona, 23, was a fifth-round draft pick by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2018. San Jose acquired Chrona in 2021 in exchange for forward Frederick Claesson.

Chrona has appeared in the nine NHL games, all for the Sharks, going 1-6-1 with an .859 save percentage.
