Tristan Jarry's NHL Future Known After Being Waived by the Pittsburgh Penguins
The Pittsburgh Penguins made a shock move with Tristan Jarry on Wednesday, and now we know what his future will be in the league after the move.
Tristan Jarry started 2024/25 in dreadful form, and he hasn't been able to recover thus far, with Kyle Dubas and the Pittsburgh Penguins making the decision to waive him for the second time this season on Wednesday.
This came as no surprise given the team's overall struggles as of late, and with the Stanley Cup Playoffs still being the goal, it was clearly time to make a decision for the good of the organization.
Now, on Thursday, Jarry's fate has been confirmed, as it was revealed that he passed through waivers unclaimed once again, and for the second time he'll head to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in an attempt to save his NHL career.
In 22 games thus far, Jarry has posted a 3.26 GAA and an .886 save percentage, with the team winning just 8 of his 22 appearances thus far, and given the promising offensive turnaround over the last few months, the team believe they can be a genuine threat if they just get solid goaltending.
Now, they'll turn to the duo of Joel Blomqvist and Alex Nedeljkovic to hopefully get that level of production in net, but with question marks on their blue line, only time will tell how much blame should fall on Jarry and how much was on the play of the team overall.
With three years left on his deal after this one with a cap hit of $5.35 million annually, it made sense that no other team in the NHL was looking to land Jarry, and with so much time left on the contract, his NHL future is up in the air after this latest move.
