A Look Tristan Jarry's Potential New Contract: Will Pittsburgh Be Able to Afford Him?
This year didn't finish the way that the Pittsburgh Penguins or Goaltender Tristan Jarry hoped.
After being injured late in the season, Jarry returned to the playoffs for game 7 vs the Rangers, sadly he ended up being eliminated.
The Penguins General Manager Ron Hextall decided to re-sign both Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang last minute. The Penguins need to figure out now what to do with goaltender Tristan Jarry.
The 27 year-old is heading into the final year of his current contract that pays him $3,500,000 million dollars. Jarry has been steady since taking the net from Penguins previous goaltender Matt Murray.
Jarry Went 34-18-6 with a 2.42 goals against and .91.9 save percentage. The question now will be how much will Jarry's new deal be worth?
The Washington Capitals handed out a five-year deal with a $5.25 million cap hit to Darcy Kuemper, fresh off of a Stanley Cup Championship. The summer before this one, starters Jusse Saros, Jordan Binnington, Philip Grubauer, and standout Igor Shesterkin signed extensions for $6 million or less per season.
Kuemper went 34-17-10 with a a a 2.57 goals against average and .902 save percentage similar numbers to Jarry meaning Jarry will likely be looking to make 5-6 million dollars annually on his new deal in my opinion I think the new contract will be a 5 year deal making Jarry 33 when the Penguins reevaluate Jarry's next deal.
