Elliotte Friedman: “The factor to me, that’s attention-grabbing about Jarry is he signed 5 occasions 5 earlier than final season. And , you take a look at him final yr, I believe the Penguins have, at occasions, thought of their choices right here, and so I believe that has been happening the place they’ve had him on the market, or they’ve talked to different groups about him. I imply, clearly nothing has occurred, however it’s occurred.
Jarry, he had six shutouts final yr. That was probably the greatest numbers within the league, and he had a save proportion proper across the league common. These are good numbers. Such as you take a look at the numbers and also you say, I like that, however there’s an inconsistency to him.
He’s a type of guys. He will get damage too. And, simply by the actual fact I heard his title form of talked a couple of bit, I believe with the Penguins, it’s form of like we like Jarry, however we need to see extra. We need to see him be a bit extra reliable. And that’s not placing him on waivers like they did with (Ville) Husso.
However to me, that was a bit of little bit of, we don’t thoughts if he’s a bit of bit insecure about his place. We don’t need him to be snug in considering I’m the man. He has to verify he retains that designation. That’s what that mentioned to me about what Sullivan was doing.”

Then he signed a five-year, $26.875 million contract with a $5.375 million cap hit. (One other five-by-five contract doesn’t look good.) Jarry’s numbers have declined regardless of being the NHL shutout chief final season.
His inconsistent play has seen Casey DeSmith, Alex Nedeljkovic, and Joel Blomqvist take over the beginning job in Pittsburgh. Jarry was a wholesome scratch within the Penguins 6-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday. Whereas Dubas and firm need him to work on his sport within the NHL, placing him on waivers and sending him to the minors could be the best choice.
The choice with buying and selling Jarry is that he has a 12-team modified no-trade listing. So, it could be robust to discover a suitor. The Penguins are in a jam. If issues proceed to go on this route, he may very well be a buyout candidate this summer time.
