Penguins fans seem to love the deal and are glad to be rid of Jarry. I know he isn't perfect, but his numbers are pretty good outside of last season. Are we all missing something here?

Fans of losing or long struggling teams usually hate their goalies.

Couldn't ask for a more perfect test case than this goalie swap. Jarry has played pretty well this year. If he comes here and becomes a sub 0.900 goalie ... might be time to blow this team up! And imagine if Skinner starts playing 0.910+ for the Pens. Of course if both goalies just keep performing similar to before, hat tip to Mr. Bowman. Should be interesting!

His playoff stats aren't stellar (although very small sample size of 8 games and most in a single year). He hasn't been in the post-season for a long time too - the last time he played was his only post-season appearance of 2021-22, losing game 7 of round 1 in OT to the Rangers. The year before he struggled in six games against the Islanders.

I suspect there's some lingering doubt about the goalie after last year where he was waived and sent to the minors. Given that and his big salary, it is a little surprising the Pens got as much for him as they did - although the Oilers had to make the salaries work so needed to send someone like Kulak whether he's coveted by Pittsburgh or not.

I don't mind the blueline getting a little bit younger. Kulak has not been as steady this year and at 31 his trajectory is only going to go downhill. I don't know much about this Stastney guy, but he's 25. If he can be a steady defender, then we're probably doing okay on that swap.

The second and third round picks? Meh. None of that matters to the McDavid window, which is all that matters now. I was probably hoping for a more surprising acquisition of someone who's clearly better - but it is probably an upgrade. And the farm guy adds some more scoring punch on Bakersfield. Hopefully one of those guys can bring some offence up to the bottom 6 at some point.

I do agree that we really need to upgrade our backup position too. Even if Jarry plays well, I don't want to see him start 80-90% of the games because Pickard isn't up to the task. Skinner's actually been by far the better of the two this year despite his well-documented challenges. I do wish Ingram's numbers were better in the AHL. 10 starts, 3-5-2, 3.76GAA, .878 sv%. Not amazing.

While on the topic of goalies, I wish we were playing Jonsson in the AHL. He's 5-1-1 in the ECHL with .911 and 2.08 GAA. It's so far below the NHL that it's hard to know if it's translatable though.

Jarry seems like a 50 games max guy in his career so far. Definitely puts Pickard in a tough spot now if he doesn't have his game together. I really hope Jarry gets some health luck this year for us.

Hard to be confident about anything right now, but I still think that finally breaking this marriage we had with Skinner at the very least lights a proper fire under management to be active with goaltending again. At the worst we are Colorado having to make goalie moves and scout properly to solidify the position. That's better than being lazy and married to someone that turns into a huge issue every year.

Season is officially exciting again, I might actually be watching some full games again to see what Jarry does.
