Trade rumor involving the Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry
Goaltender Tristan Jarry is having a terrible start to the season with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Could the CH benefit from it? Obviously, especially since it's not much better in front of the Habs net this season.
Aged 29, Jarry has a save percentage of .836 and a goals against average of 5.47.
So, for a few matches, he has been replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic and the young Joel Blomqvist.
Moreover, we learned this morning that he had been transferred to the Penguins farm club for conditioning. He will therefore be in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for a maximum of 14 days. He will play matches, work with the goalkeeping coach and will definitely be able to regain his confidence.
After this necessary step for the goalkeeper, Jarry could well be traded. Could the CH benefit from it? As my colleague William Nadeau from the HabsEtLNH site points out, it's a possibility, especially since the Penguins would have to pay to get rid of him, because of his salary. The Canadiens have space under the salary cap to accommodate this type of contract and Kent Hughes could attempt a Sean Monahan or Patrik Laine exchange.
We will monitor this issue closely in the coming days, especially if Samuel Montembeault and Cayden Primeau continue to experience difficulties at the start of the season.
