Salary Cap: '24-'25 Salary Thread: Crosbicles Volume MMXXV - Poolman and Poolparty?!?

[Kristopher Letang]

Someone check on @Honour Over Glory

 

[T1K]

Thank god. Unfortunately nobody will be dumb enough to claim him.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

typically I just feel bad for players when it’s come to this. But it’s extraordinarily difficult to feel that way about Jarry.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

What EXACTLY does this mean? Nothing really? Not claimed, he goes to minors like he already was earlier, albeit that was for "conditioning"

 

[TimmyD]

Does it really matter though? No one will claim him with that contract so he will just go to Wilkes won’t he? Then he will be there for a little bit and eventually get recalled

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Thank god. Unfortunately nobody will be dumb enough to claim him.

Well, considering the Penguins have allowed a league-worst 3.67 goals per game, it's hard to go deeper than rock bottom.

We’re obviously making room for McDavid.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Also hilarious that Yohe can’t even break news correctly lmao

 

[Shrimper]

Excellent

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Just popping in to say gee what a shame.

And to happen to SUCH a nice, likeable guy, too.

 

[Malkinstheman]

f***ing finally. See ya Jarry

 

[Turin]

Thank goodness. Go away

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Downside is the tank is off. This team is going on an absolute heater now.

So we will draft 14th. And you will love every second of it.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Have fun giving up first shot goals in Wheeling, Tristan.

 

[Deport Ogie]

Somewhere in Pittsburgh there are at least 35 people telling their spouse how the Pens should have never let MAF get away.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Also to the chunk of the fanbase that said they just HAD to sign this overstuffed bag of rotten turds because "wHaT ChOiCe dO tHeY HaVe?!/!" -- be better.

I'm just wishing things would have worked out with Lindberg.

This isn't even a Jarry specific thing, but a NHL wide thing: do not pay mediocre goalies.

Jarry is another guy in that Campbell/Merzlikins/Petersen/Grubauer group that got paid despite not being good enough to get paid, and the deal ended up terrible halfway through it. I bet Blackwood is the next guy in this group.

They'll probably keep him stashed in the AHL for the rest of the year and buy him out in the off-season.

They'll run with Nedjelkovic and Blomqvist with Larsson as the AHL call-up.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Never wanted him to be re-signed.

It's not like it's hard to see, either. There is a small cadre of goaltenders who should probably get paid and even their value versus those contracts is often questionable.

I have no idea what people saw in Jarry leading up to his moronic deal that told them he was a guy that just had to be brought back.

I mean I think we can say at this point that the Penguins should have never let MAF get away

The shitshow goaltending they've gotten since 2017 makes me feel it's fairly clear they made the wrong decision with going with Murray over Fleury.

 

[WickedWrister]

Never wanted him to be re-signed.

5 year term was insane in hindsight. Hell, not even hindsight lol, it was obvious when it was signed.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Well. Jarry your value is in the toilet. What a disaster.

I defended him and this contract. But this year yikes.
