However, they already have their goaltender of the future, Yaroslav Askarov. With the Russian netminder likely a return pipe in a hypothetical trade, would it be worth for San Jose to take on a veteran such as Hellebuyck?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">On this <a class=\"text-secondary underline underline-offset-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d-dp_QGlb6U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" hreflang=\"en\">week\u2019s edition of Daily Faceoff LIVE<\/a>, Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton discuss whether the Sharks might be the right fit for someone like Hellebuyck.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Tyler Yaremchuk: They would have to move an Askarov presumably in the trade, and he\u2019s kind of viewed as that next man up in the goaltending world, and they would have the future assets to get it done. I just don\u2019t know if San Jose is quite in the spot where making a move like that makes sense. I think it\u2019s a touch too early, and you have Askarov.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Carter Hutton: You have Askarov at 24, who\u2019s coming into his own. He\u2019s an RFA. You could lock him up on a pretty good deal, and he\u2019s your future. With Hellebuyck, it\u2019s almost more of a win-now situation. I think that\u2019s where it gets so muddy with Hellebuyck, like where he lands, because anybody who\u2019s getting Connor Hellebuyck is like, \u2018We want to win the Stanley Cup.\u2019 So, you hear Carolina\u2019s name being thrown around, right, or Buffalo that\u2019s trying to be in there. Winnipeg wants back guys that can win right now, so he\u2019s going to give up guys that can help you win right now when you\u2019re trying to win right now on the team that wants Connor Hellebuyck, so that\u2019s the tricky situation with him. I think San Jose stays status quo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Tyler: Connor Hellebuyck is not young anymore. He\u2019s he\u2019s 33. You know, going to be 34 years old. Like, if you\u2019re a team with a 20 year old Macklin Celebrini and a 21-year-old Will Smith and all these other pieces, Stenberg, Misa, go down the list. Do you want to have five years from now, when those guys are firmly in their primes? Do you want to be paying a 39-year-old Connor Hellebuyck or a 29-year-old Yaroslav Askarov? I mean, who knows what either player is at those ages? But I just think there\u2019s a point of like San Jose is still building. They\u2019re not quite looking for that finishing piece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">You can watch the full segment and entire episode here\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With one of the best goaltenders looking to move, would a young and rising team be the right&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":907502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":["post-907501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-winnipeg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=907501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/907501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/907502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=907501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=907501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=907501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
