Rumors: 2024-25 Season

Make of this as you will.

Pierre LeBrun was on French radio and mentioned that the Habs were interested in Askarov this summer, but that Nashville's price was Jacob Fowler. Upon hearing the price, the Habs declined. He doesn't know who the Habs offered, and he's assuming that the Habs might have offered a young d-man.

It wasnt Fowler 1 for 1. Habs made an offer and Preds asked for Fowler to be included.
 
I think Askarov is still a superb prospect and Hughes agrees (otherwise why bother?) but they couldn't agree on the price.

Habs obviously wanted to add to their goalie pipeline, so putting Fowler in the deal was a non starter
