Confirmed Signing with Link: [PIT] G Tristan Jarry re-signs with the Penguins (5 years, $5.375M AAV)

[Zbynek]

He's not even good when healthy. He's lucked his way into the all star appearance...that's it. Dude has genuinely not stolen a SINGLE game in a Pens uni. It's not the health that pisses us off (maybe a minority) - it's his dogmeat inconsistent play. He's a 1B goalie who's been named a starter for some damn reason and gets to pretend to be one now to the tune of 26M dollars and the end of Sid/Geno's careers.

Thanks a f'n ton front office. Eat shit.

Zero stolen games in important scenarios with 5 years of chances

 

[Woodrow]

I could see signing Jarry because of lack of options but why would you sign him to a 5 year deal???

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

What exactly was this negotiated down from?

Not sure Dubas does negotiations

 

[Puckstop40]

Big oof

 

[molon labe]

Pens were never going to be in on the Hellebuyck sweepstakes. Can't afford him.

I'd have taken ANY AHL call up, any NCAA guy, walk on, whatever. Someone who you don't know and maybe strikes gold. This is the demon you DO know, and you know he sucks and is going to be injured for half this deal and making excuses for the other half.

This move is NOTHING else than Sullivan bullshitting his way into job insurance for the guaranteed 'if we only had a healthy goalie' missed playoffs/first round exit we will keep running into (see his media excuses for the last 5 years straight).

They should have given Korpisalo the 5 x4

 

[Extra Texture]

Window just got slammed shut and locked up like Fort Knox. Heck of a way to end the careers of 87, 71, & 58

Yup, this was a terrible move. They just threw away the last years of this core on an oft-injured, mentally weak guy who, when the going gets tough, is likelier to throw a game away rather than steal one.

classic dubas. He's all yours pens fans.

Oh yeah, this reeks of Sullivan's stamp, and not necessarily Dubas. FSG from all reports, are in love with Sullivan (he's wicked smaught.). And Sullivan LOVES Jarry. So I am not surprised we signed him. I am a bit surprised by the term and average. Can't believe we couldn't have got him for less.

They can’t afford to take a gamble on an unproven goalie when the clock is ticking down on Crosby / Malkin / Letangs careers

This should be repeated every single page of this damned thread.

And plastered on a sign behind the bench right next to one that tells Sully to righteously f*** off.

Absolute stupid ass signing and way to end the era. Genuinely indefensible.

So instead lock down one who hasn't stolen a single NHL game, is hurt more than Matt Murray, and absolutely plays like a backup when he IS healthy. This isn't a gamble it's suicide by stupidity in the front office.

 

[Lolonegoal]

What exactly was this negotiated down from?

A bid for the Ottawa Senators

 

[Michoulicious]

Overpaying for a bad goalie, the Dubas special!!!

 

[Kranix]

Dubas signs Jarry for 5, and let Dumoulin walk?? His genius continues.

You think letting Dumoulin walk is a mistake?

I'm shocked that people are coming in with reactionary, bad takes. Shocked I say!

Jarry has a .915 save% in his last 4 years and his lowest save% in a season was .909. Does he have his issues? Yeah, of course he does. But the reality is that he was the best goalie option available that didn't involve a trade, and you can't force another team to trade Hellebuyck or Ullmark to you.

He's paid effectively the same as Darcy Kuemper while being about that caliber of goalie. What did people expect Jarry would go for in UFA?

I think Jarry negotiated this contract with Dubas using the Dany Heatley strategy. He told Dubas, "I'm a ******* ALL STAR!"

 

[BlackFrancis]

Thank you, Fenway Sports Group!

 

[NYRKing]

Really surprising. He’s been awful. Contract year and perhaps his worst.

Dumoulin is beyond cooked.

 

[RationalExpectations]

seems like a bad idea…

 

[Reality Check]

No thanks...I'll keep Reimer

 

[browniefan]

Horrific signing. Chances for another cup run were already slim. Now they’re gone for good.

 

[socko]

Samsonov was actually one of Dubas's best moves. But then there was Matt Murray and that had to be a great day for Ottawa's GM, probably couldn't stop laughing on the other end of the call. Anyway, that's Dubas for you. More style than substance.

Jack for Jarry at some point
