Hmmm. I’ve watched that same game way too many times. Used to need Skinner or Campbell in net to make it happen, but Bowman managed to find a goalie that is both of those guys at their worst in 1 body.

Skinner was at least a homegrown player who was always cheap. He couldn't be trusted in the most important moments but one thing you could never say about him was that he was overpaid. With a competent organization he should have been an extremely easy player to move on from without tying another boat anchor to the team.
Campbell was a bad contract but at least he didn't cost the team any assets.
Jarry is by far the worst. They gave up a significant package to get him including pieces that could help them right now AND his salary has and will continue to prevent them from improving in other areas.
How they watched this guy play and decided he was someone they could trust in high pressure moments is mind boggling. Just an all time brutal move. GM/Pro Scouting department should be fired for that move alone.

Jarry's playoff history is a carbon copy of when Skinner competely falls apart and needs to be sat for weeks. Easy to find Jarry's playoff gaffs like this one:

He's the same frantic mess that we are seeing lately in our net when the chips have been down in his career.
What this org was thinking chasing and overpaying for another Dustin Schwartz lifetime student? We will never know.
