Confirmed with Link: Pens sign Tristan Jarry : 5.375 x 5

[Rudy Russo]

A big time panic move by the penguins.

 

[Icarium]

Maybe the fourth time is the charm and this time Jarry won't be terrible after the trade deadline.

 

[Nfumass]

Dubas continues to be trash glad the stat nerds are happy to have him

 

[DrDangles]

I’m gonna start watching Pirates games now.

I still have PTSD from this play

 

[Rave7215]

Everyone ****s on DeSmith. Like is he really 5x worse than jars?

Well we won't have to worry about that, Alex Nedeljkovic is going to be the new backup. CDS is on his way out. I think we are seeing all these signing at once because something else is in the works

 

[The Old Master]

But what the f*** has he ever done to deserve that kind of contract

well, he has to put up with all the verbal abuse. that's worth a lot. imo

 

[Lara Emily]

Worst signing of the last 10 years aint even close.

Jack Johnson

 

[maxpenguins6630]

cap hit is too high or term is too high…

4,75M for 5 I would have been fine
For his cap hit 3 years would have been enough

Jack Johnson

Not even close. That one was buyout friendly and a position you could play 8-10 minutes a night. This one literally plays all 60 (for the 8 games he's healthy at any given stretch) and does nothing but bleed goals and let in backbreakers.

I honest to God think this is Sullivan convincing the front office knowing full God damned well he can blame Jarry's inconsistency and/or health on the fact we miss the playoffs for the next 5 years or make them and get bounced.

"Well, err, gorsh, *boston smirk*, I just think if we had a bit better luck/chances/health (Jarry hurt)" Oh gosh Sully here's 5 more years. f***ing pathetic.

 

[DrDangles]

All that money for a guy that gets injured every month and has never won a playoff series. His agent is worth every penny.

 

[Malkinstheman]

the aav is a bit too high but there was literally no other option available. Korpisalo is worse and got a similar contract. Pens tried to sign Freddie but he stayed in Carolina.

 

[maxpenguins6630]

Any link for Dubas presser ??

 

[PensandCaps]

I don't understand how people think Jarry sucks when you look at his numbers.

I wouldn't have signed him to this contract though.

I’d just rather go a COMPLETELY different direction. I’d love to pull a 90s red wings like that did with osgood. Build the D. It’s so much more important the G.

Channeling his best MAF.

 

[HuskerTornado]

People seem to be forgetting he is a 2 time all star!

Lol....*sigh*

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I had to remember my password to boggle at this. Jfc.

Actually, my password manager did because it's more reliable than Jarry and came through clutch.

 

[Game suspension]

Aren't ya glad Dubas came over lol. Horrible contract.

 

[DearDiary]

I’m gonna start watching Pirates games now.

I don't understand why Malkin was trying to avoid contact there as if it was a preseason game

 

[K Fleur]

I don't understand how people think Jarry sucks when you look at his numbers.

I wouldn't have signed him to this contract though.

Cause we all watch him play.

 

[orby]

This is a really weird move. Hard to imagine other teams were offering anything close to these numbers.

 

[PensandCaps]

Cause we all watch him play.

His numbers would reflect that, if he was as bad as people thought lol. He's a fine starter who gets hurt alot.

 

[Zbynek]

I’m gonna start watching Pirates games now.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Nothing on the market too high for the wants on a trade.

As long as we use some assets to make a trade for something else I will survive.

This is a conversation I have with friend who literally don't watch the team but every 25 games and love the likes of Rust/Jarry/Sullivan

So, no biggie if that's you - but seriously - this guy passes the puck to the opposition in a key moment with the season on the line - fails to clear the puck at least 8 times per period, mishandles the puck more than he makes a decent breakout play, lets in backbreaking goals quite literally on about 30% of the teams losses, not a single person can name a single NHL game he's stolen (every NHL starter steals games, even the lower tiered ones), he's hurt all the damned time, he makes excuses....but sure he's north of 900. His stats are about as defining as the Penguins leading the league in hits every year.
