Ottawa and Detroit stand out as 2 obvious options. I think both are desperate to improve their goaltending as well, and Jarry's one of the few guys potentially available that would be an improvement for them.
I think whoever doesn't get Ullmark comes to Dubas about Jarry.
Crazy trade idea:
Jarry to DET for #15 + Husso + Berggren.
Buyout Husso (1.5x2), sign Brossoit (2x2.5) and you're still saving 1.5, have a slightly downgraded tandem, and pick up a premium prospect

You're not getting nearly that much back for Jarry. Jarry for Husso and a 2nd is closer to what that kind of deal would be I think.

Sullivan gots to go!
Malkin has always needed a Bunting-type, even when he was the best player in the world.

I'll be so happy if we move Jarry.
Pretty much the only way Dubas could win me over.

People are really underselling Jarry with even worse goalies as optional replacements.
Like, Jarry is looking pretty good compared to them.
Just maybe, the team should play a lot better in front, and maybe score more, especially on the PP?

Still needs to have a plan afterwards, I don't think with this defense we can go into the season with Neds and Blom in my opinion.

I honestly don't care who we sign if we get rid of Jarry. Just get that loser out of PIT.

That's fine, but what's your plan afterwards? And please, don't answer John Gibson lol. Not much on the UFA market

One of those 3 at a similar cap hit to Nedeljkovic would be a nice tandem.

Stolarz could be another option.
Unless you have one of the top-5 guys, I don't think it makes any sense to sign a goalie for more than 2.5m. In today's league it's just a numbers game. Sign a bunch of guys and play the hot hand.
Go with Ned-Brossoit-Larsson-Blomqvist and use the addition money on skaters

Nah Malkin ideally had one but he didn’t need one to be an impact player. Now he is not a one man line driver, he’s drifting closer to that complimentary piece.
Dustin Wolf, best goalie in the AHL that past few seasons. Him and Vladar will split the games most likely. Flames are not looking to add a 5M goalie, they just traded one who is better than Jarry.

Our defensive metrics are pretty much in the middle of the league.
I did notice our high danger save % was the 4th worst in the league so we need to improve that and that’s more on the goalie than the team.

Does this move mean a jarry trade ? Bring up Joel B from Wilks backup for Ned ? Do this a you will save 3 million in cap ! an get some great prospects or maybe a 2nd an 3rd pick with a lower end prospect I’m thinking buffalo /Calgary they both have plenty of picks an prospect with good amount of cap space an both need a good goaltender

Good post! You can put this type of stuff in the salary cap/roster building thread. @Zirakzigil
There’s already discussions about it here

Pens gave up the 15th most high danger shots against in the league. Not great but not completely terrible.
I would suggest both that the Pens need to give up less high danger shots against and our goalies need to perform better in those scenarios as well.
Interestingly enough several playoff teams gave up more high danger shots against than the Pens did.
The Boston "zomg their system is perfect" Bruins gave up three more high danger shots against than the Pens did. They have vastly better goaltending though.

A real jerk thing
Every star center needs a Bunting type. Sid and Hornqvist were great, but Sid's a giant baby about who plays on his line and that poisoned the well for years.
