Elliotte Friedman confirms shocking report regarding the Penguins front office and Tristan Jarry
Tristan Jarry was recently waived by the Pittsburgh Penguins and sent down to the AHL after going unclaimed, and a shocking report has just surfaced.
The Pittsburgh Penguins placed goalie Tristan Jarry on waivers Wednesday, a move both startling and inevitable. Jarry ended up going unclaimed and assigned to the AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
People felt that Jarry had so much promise after he seized the Penguins' starting goalie job once Matt Murray left town.
However, questions about his ability as a reliable NHL starter began to set in last summer when general manager Kyle Dubas inked him to a five-year, $26.875 million pact.
Report reveals front office was not happy with Jarry's contract
A recent report revealed by Elliotte Friedman has shockingly stated that several people in the Penguins' front office were not happy at all when Dubas signed Jarry to that monstrous contract.
EF heard Jarry will report the AHL and also says some personnel within the org weren't a fan of that contract being signed.
That contract immediately proved sour as Jarry had a mediocre 2023-24 season, followed by a disastrous start to the 2024-25 campaign.
This season, he's 8-8-4 with the more concerning 3.31 goals-against average and a .886 save percentage in 22 games.
The tumble his performance is taking is somewhat similar to what happened to Jack Campbell, who got sent to the AHL for a conditioning stint after the rough start.
He did perk up a bit since returning, but the .893 save percentage in 18 games still counts as subpar.
In waiving Jarry, the Penguins are acknowledging one of the first real mistakes of the Dubas era, and Jarry's contract, along with the Erik Karlsson trade, casts long shadows over the team's future.
