Matt Marchese: “Edmonton, we all know that they’re not less than monitoring the goaltending market. Tristan Jarry a match there? As a result of I do know the cash has to work, however Tristan Jarry has actually bounced again. It was a it’s been a very robust couple of years, particularly final yr. However he performed a bit bit higher at stretches, and this yr, while you take a look at the numbers, a 253, a 2.53 objectives in opposition to, and a .914 save proportion for the Penguins in eight video games. May that be somebody that may be made out there?
Friedman: “Properly, I believe that, I believe he may very well be out there. I don’t suppose there’s any query about that. I imply, Pittsburgh has 4 goalies proper now, proper? They obtained him, they’ve obtained (Arturs) Silov’s, and so they’ve obtained the 2 younger guys, (Sergei) Murashov and (Joel) Blomqvist, who I believe each are going to play. So Murashov, Blomqvist has performed earlier than. He was damage earlier this yr, and Murashov’s performed this yr, and you may see the power there.

I imply, to begin with, you already know, Pittsburgh is within the race. They’ve been a little bit of a shock this yr. In order that all the time makes me marvel, like, you already know, how do they really feel about tampering with the best way it began?
However in principle, sure, I believe Jarry is obtainable. Now, I believe the factor, and I wrote at size about this yesterday with the Oilers, and what I believe they’ve to think about. The opposite factor I forgot to say there, that Edmonton sort of indicated is, they need somebody who’s wholesome. As a result of the worst factor that they, you are able to do is, you can also make this transfer and then you definately commerce for somebody who’s not out there. And that’s why they had been nervous about (John) Gibson, and I do know they’ve been nervous about Jarry for that motive.
And on based mostly on pure means, I believe Jarry makes numerous sense, however I do know that that has has scared the Oilers is his propensity for getting damage. As a result of, like, the factor about Skinner, not less than, is he’s out there. And as, as I wrote final night time, and I really feel very strongly, I simply suppose the Oilers have to think about right here whether or not it’s time? It’s time for him, it’s time for them, and all people, together with the group and the participant, Skinner, can be higher off with the transfer such as you. You’re on the level now the place you must contemplate that.
However I perceive the Oilers involved about, okay, let’s simply say we traded for a man with a historical past of harm, after which it pops up on us. Then the place are we? And I perceive that concern, like I, like, I do suppose the best way it’s gone this yr goes to power the Oilers into doubtlessly uncomfortable choices. However I perceive the priority about anyone who will get damage quite a bit.

However like individuals who get damage, you are concerned about what they do, your roster, your wage cap, your choices, and I believe that’s the most important name the Oilers can have with Jarry.
