3 Potential Trade Destinations for Penguins' Tristan Jarry

The Pittsburgh Penguins have reportedly 'considered' trading goaltender Tristan Jarry throughout the summer. Jarry's been very inconsistent the past couple of years, meanwhile throughout the ups and downs, the Penguins inked him to a long-term extension, which runs through the 2027-28 season, which sees Jarry earn $5.3 million against the cap.

Jarry went 19-25-5 last season, and so far in 2024-25, watched rookie netminder Joel Blomqvist make back-to-back starts, while Jarry has appeared in two games, posting a .866 save percentage.

The trade buzz is going to continue throughout the early parts of this season, especially if Jarry once again, loses his starting job in Pittsburgh. Here's three potential landing spots for the 29-year-old goalie:

Colorado Avalanche

The Avs know what the Penguins are going through, as far as goalie struggles go. Alexandar Georgiev was pulled in back-to-back starts to open the season, and is a pending unrestricted free agent. Colorado won't be rushing to sign the Russian netminder long term, which could open the door for an in-season move for Jarry, who would be a bounce-back candidates for the Avalanche. A change of scenery goes a long way.

Anaheim Ducks

With John Gibson on the shelve to start the year, Lukas Dostal has been given the crease, and he's going to do whatever he can to keep it. Gibson makes more than Jarry, but could we see two goaltenders who need to reset their careers, moved for one another? Kyle Dubas has loved Gibson's game for years, certainly two teams to keep an eye on throughout the goalie market.

Utah HC

Utah is open to making moves as they look to overachieve in their first season in the league. They have Connor Ingram who has become their 1-A starter, and could be open to finding him a tandem partner, long term, in Jarry. Karel Vejmelka feels like a prime trade candidate for Utah, as we should be keeping an eye on the HC on the trade market, as owner Ryan Smith is looking to make a big splash this season.
