All their best players are in their prime, they're definitely in win now mode.
That said I think Askarov makes a ton of sense for them. If you assume that Demko, given his injury history (which dates back to his college days) won't be a starter well into his 30s, then Askarov's timeline as a 22 year old is more or less perfect to hand the job off to as Demko declines. It's basically exactly what Nashville did with Saros taking the reins from Rinne in 2020-2021 when Saros was 25. Or hell, Demko doing the same taking over from Markstrom at 25, when the Flames signed him.
