Further proof Josh Yohe is a f***ing moron.

 

[End of Line]

Solid deal and let’s just let this be a reminder that Josh Yohe is f***ing AWFUL at his job

 

[BrookswasHere44]

Does this mean anything for Jarry?

 

[SEALBound]

Very interesting timing with all of the goalie moves lately. But I think Neds earned it. Very good 1b for us. And the contract is palatable, provided his game doesn't go to poo. And if it does, it's moveable or buriable with Blomqvist in the mix.

What would it mean for him? lol.

What dumb (redudant i know) thing did Yohe say this time?

 

[Ulf5]

Bloom shouldn't be that far off. Maybe Doobie working on a trade and planning on bringing in another 1B vet til he is ready?

If Dubas trades Jarry, I'll have 10% faith in him of somehow figuring out this summer.

$8 mil for a goalie tandem isn’t great. Hope we have a trade in the works to ship Jarry out.

$8 mill for a goalie tandem can be fine unless one of them is Tristan Jarry and he’s making 80% of that total.

Hey at least we are paying 8 million for a goalie tandem that isn't great.

What dumb (redudant i know) thing did Yohe say this time?

“So long as goaltender Tristan Jarry remains on the Penguins, I’d be surprised if unrestricted free agent Alex Nedeljkovic returns. He earned himself a raise last season, and, given the number of holes in the Penguins’ lineup, it’s hard to imagine them employing a fairly expensive backup while Jarry’s salary remains on their books.

(I’ve been calling for the Penguins to explore a Jarry trade. I’ve not been told that this is something they’re looking into. If they do, retaining Nedeljkovic suddenly makes a lot of sense.)”

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

That's a solid deal.

Now find a new home for Jarry, pick up another vet option like Ned was last year and run lean on this position since it's dumb to overspend on goaltending in today's league.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

FYI, Jeff Marek apparently mentioned on his show today with Elliott Friedman that he's heard Jarry's name out there now that the Markstrom trade is done.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I know it seems like this team relishes in doing things REAL dumb and backwards these days but I feel like it would be an extremely weird decision to keep Jarry after the conclusion to last year now that Ned is locked up. Unless they simply cannot find a trade partner.

 

[OnMyOwn]

It is interesting timing, but realistically I don’t think it means much more than Ned was good and we need good goalies on the roster.

I’d love a Jarry trade, though.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Dubas signed a goaltender that he knows played as well as Jarey and now has flexibility to trade Jarry.

I like it. Trade or no trade

I’m not one to defend Yohe but I mean, if they do trade Jarry, what he said is correct.

Hey... just like ALL the goaltenders that have played with Jarry!

 

[ncm7772]

Solid deal! With that being said, I have to complain a bit. Was hoping it’d be a tad cheaper, considering the $6M albatross that’s the other goalie.

To be fair he's "only" a 5.4ish million dollar albatross.

It's his underserved overinflated ego that is probably throwing you off into thinking it's more.

 

[SEALBound]

FYI, Jeff Marek apparently mentioned on his show today with Elliott Friedman that he's heard Jarry's name out there now that the Markstrom trade is done.

I'm probably going to touch myself to the thought of that tonight.

Honestly though, Jarry's name being out there makes sense, and so does this signing. You don't want to get caught with your pants down and no goalies if a move is made.

At this hit and rate, I think he's very moveable if they end up keeping Jarry and Blomqvist comes in and rocks everyone's world.

This is the type of deal you sign to give you the confidence to realistically explore trades without fear. Go for it Dubas!

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

If we could get anything like the Markstrom return for Jarry, that'd be swell
