Askarov requested a trade from the Nashville Predators after they re-signed Juuse Saros to an eight-year extension, he reportedly told the team he would not report to their AHL affiliate Milwaukee Admirals, so it is somewhat surprising to see him sent down regardless of the injury.

SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks assigned goalie Yaroslav Askarov, who is now healthy, to the Barracuda of the AHL on Friday.

Yaroslav Askarov refused an AHL assignment by the Nashville Predators, then was traded to the San Jose Sharks. Today, the Sharks sent him to the AHL.

The San Jose Sharks have announced that goaltender Yaroslav Askarov has been reassigned to the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda. The 22-year-old netminder was released from training camp as he continues to recover from a lower-body injury that has kept him sidelined throughout camp.
