Shade under $8M for a goaltending duo is perfectly fine if you can get above average play from them. Definite if with this tandem, though.

That’s a great deal! Did not expect to see him sign this offseason. Especially for a relatively low price.
rageharles
wow i fully thought he was gone in favor of reshuffling journeyman depth players. love to see this

Glad to see it. Big fan

Did NOT expect this, very sick
Interested to see now if Jarry gets shopped at all

I am so hard right now. I’m actually surprised that the Pens were able to resign him.
Ecruteak-vagrant
In a vacuum I like this. In practicality though that’s a lot for a goalie tandem where one of the guys isn’t an out and out stud. I’m fine with Ned, but I firmly believe Jarry is simply not capable of being a go to NHL goalie. The sample is large enough to draw that conclusion.

To be honest I’d be fine with a Jarry cap dump at this point. I don’t love having $8 mil tied up in two guys I don’t fully trust. Ned and a young guy or another solid 1B type would be fine if it cost less and we could reallocate that money elsewhere.

This means nothing regarding Jarry. The only thing this means is we’re not seeing Blomqvist this year unless there’s an injury.
Cheeks_Klapanen
That’s about as high as I would have gone for him. Kind of confirms Blomqvist is staying in WBS for at least another year, but that’s fine. A little extra seasoning never hurt anybody.

So I’m not anti or pro Jarry, I’m perfectly neutral. But I kind of thought that he would be teamed up with Blomqvist here soon. Now I think, especially with the rumors they weren’t happy with Jarry at the end of the year, that maybe there’s a real possibility they look to trade him.
sextoymagic
Hell yeah! Blocks Bloom sadly. But maybe a Jarry trade comes.
BeansTheCoach
Fantastic deal, so glad he’s staying.

I can’t express how good this move is. He’s such a solid goalie in a league where having a good pairing is almost near impossible. At 2.5M for 2 years???? What a steal.
XGuiltyofBeingMikeX
Fuck, that’s such a deal.
Also, seeing what goalies have gone for in the past two days…it’s now or never to move Jarry. He’s worth more than the other two guys who just got traded
DDx18
Love this, absolutely love this. Welcome back Ned !!!
Quarky-Beartooth
Yes!!!! Great news
Kadaththeninja_
Wow I’m honestly surprised he didn’t wait for like a 3×3.5 or something, nice to hear he’s staying
_nopucksgiven
Really shocked he signed for $2.5 I thought for sure he could’ve got 3-3.5 in free agency

This makes Yohe’s article today not look great.

Jarry heading to columbus as part of a laine deal

Ned was a good addition. That late season surge undoubtedly clinched it.
MainPFT
Excellent deal.
NO_name_LOON
Hell yeah!
HooHooHaHa
Have nothing against Jarry but this move means you almost have to move him to have cap space to fill out other needs in the lineup
aatops
This is incredibly surprising
Ok-Car1006
Great news
Radu47
Super good deal
These type of contracts ultimately likely the second best type of goalie contracts in the league, behind the 5M$ ullmark ones
Cap hits around 10M $ usually a mixed bag
Fastlane19
Great signing
Sea_Blah
Ive seen zero talk about Jarry potentially being moved except from Pens fans. Hes objectively better than Markstrom, but on a worse contract at 4 years. Doubt he gets moved unless its a hockey trade and we gamble on another player probably also on a bad contract

In Dubas we trust

This is a great signing. From the looks of the other comments it seems I’m in the minority but I think keeping Jarry and playing these guys as a 1A/1B tandem is better than shipping Jarry. Both guys played well last year in a similar role and I believe it’s in large part because they were getting good rest. Ned hasn’t proven he can be the guy yet (although I think he is capable).

Glad we re-signed our starter
Yayyy!!! 🙂
