Congratulations on being a good AHL goalie Jarry. Good luck down there forever.

Glass and Pulijujarvi both have the smarts/talent to play up in the lineup. (And I really don’t care if someone tries to convonce me Glass is garbage. I see something else.)
If the coach wasn’t so regimented, there are some options to try. Unfortunately, he is who he is, so it would take more injuries to see other combos.

That's what I meant. Someone like Glass *could* take the ball and run with it as the 2C if he was given a shot, but Sullivan is so damn set in his ways that he just "moves everyone up a line" as the default option.

Turns out Jarry is just another Pens' tweener.

I hope this builds his confidence and even though he gets paid 5.375 million if he can play at a 3.5 million level I'd just accept him as an overpaid UFA signing (he was a ufa)

It sucks but I will make do. If he comes back and plays like shit well I guess we waive him and let Blomqvist play. I will add we sucked playing in front of him and I don't fully blame him but when your getting paid 5 mill you gotta make some stops.

You CAN do a lot with $5mil, sort of. The problem is that I don't think you're getting a Rust level player in free agency for $5mil. That's the benefit of drafting and resigning - you get a small discount at times. I just cruised the 2025 UFA forwards list and I don't see anyone that makes me say "Oh! Dump Rust and sign that guy!"

You didn't read what I said. I have no interest in them using that money for free agency.
The Pens shouldn't even use free agency anymore, outside of clear bargains they can boost and flip later at deadlines.
Every ounce of available cap space should be funnelled towards futures now, one way or the other.
