The Nashville Predators rookies took the ice yesterday for practice ahead of the 2023 Southeast Rookie Showcase this weekend in Florida, and on today's Locked On Predators we talk about two prospects with big seasons ahead of them. Yaroslav Askarov is one of the top goaltending prospects in the NHL, but he faced a lot of challenges in his first season of North American hockey. We take a look at his performance in 2022-23 and discuss what was so impressive about his season. Milwaukee Admirals head coach Karl Taylor shared what he wants to see from Askarov next season which could have a big impact on decisions the Nashville Predators make when it comes to goaltending in the future. Defenseman Spencer Stastney made his NHL debut last season after a slew of Predators injuries. We hear from Stastney about what he learned from Milwaukee's deep post season run and how he is preparing for next season. Could Stastney be a sleeper pick to see more NHL ice time this season with the Predators? We'll tell you the scenario that could bring him back to Bridgestone Arena. Finally, hockey in Atlanta...take three? We weigh in on whether the NHL should give the ATL one more chance.
