Could the Oilers Buy Low on Tristan Jarry?
The Pittsburgh Penguins are reportedly open to trading goalie Tristan Jarry — but so far, there hasn't been much of a market. According to Penguins insider Josh Yohe, the team has made Jarry available, yet no clubs have shown serious interest. 'I'd still say there's a 75–80% chance he's on this team on opening night,' Yohe said on The Athletic Hockey Show. 'They're certainly willing to move him; I haven't heard of any teams being interested.' That creates an interesting possibility for the Edmonton Oilers. Perhaps not now. Perhaps not in a couple of months. But, maybe by the deadline, the Penguins' netminder finds himself on the Oilers' radar. Jarry, 30, hasn't given teams a reason to call and make a trade offer to the Penguins. He has dramatically dropped off from his All-Star form in 2020 and 2022, when he was among the NHL's most reliable starters. Penguins GM Kyle Dubas has voiced confidence that Jarry can rebound, but it takes another team being convinced. The Oilers may not be convinced yet. However, at what point does he become an option if Dubas wants to move on, there are no other takers, and the Penguins are willing to retain salary in the trade? With the Penguins acquiring Arturs Silovs to pair with Joel Blomqvist, Jarry's future in Pittsburgh is murky. Eventually, the Oilers could be the lifeline the Penguins need if moving Jarry becomes a priority. The Oilers Don't Need Jarry Yet, Regardless of the Price Edmonton's current tandem of Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard is serviceable, and that makes chasing Jarry a no-go. This gives the Oilers time and flexibility to make the right trade, not a panicked one. Adding Jarry's $5.375 million cap hit is also likely a non-starter. The price is too hefty, given the Oilers' salary cap concerns. But, if Pittsburgh retained half, the Oilers could fit him in at around $2.7–$3 million. That price — both in cap hit and trade assets — might be as low as Jarry's value gets, and it might be workable if the Skinner and Pickard start to struggle. Even then, behind Edmonton's stronger defensive structure, there's time to let the goalies work their way through problems. Timing will be key here. If Jarry regains form, his price goes up. If the Oilers see issues in net, the price goes up. The only way Edmonton does this move is if the Penguins get desperate and make the deal too sweet for the Oilers to pass up. 4 Oilers Goalie Targets Better Than Carter Hart EDMONTON – The Edmonton Oilers' need for goaltending help is one of the worst-kept secrets in hockey.

Auston Matthews is getting trolled brutally.(Image via John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images) Auston Matthews , the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs , has found himself in a huge debate ever since his team lost to the Florida Panthers in the second round of the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs . After the loss, Auston Matthews made a controversial remark, which fans feel he indirectly blamed his team for the defeat. Now, NHL insider Josh Yohe has sparked a debate on Auston Matthews with his recent post. Auston Matthews gets brutally trolled by fans as many feel he should not be the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs NHL insider Josh Yohe recently made a post on X that read as, 'I understand the criticism of Marner and it's largely justified. But what about Matthews? He's literally never risen to the occasion in the playoffs and he's Toronto's superstar, the guy the Leafs stripped Tavares of the captaincy for. Always plays small in playoffs. Always' and fans are here for it. A fan commented, 'Nobody fears Matthews in the playoffs. McDavid, Draisaitl, Kucherov, Mackinnon, Crosby, Rantanen, Pastrnak, Eichel, Makar all above him. Playoffs are the only thing that matters and in the playoffs he's just a 20 goal scorer.' Another fan wrote, 'No clue how he ended up the captain of USA at 4 Nations. Better leadership choices needed for Olympics', while a third fan joked, 'And he physically towers over Marner, yet shrinks every playoff year.' Another user commented, 'Matthews' passengers comment should earn him a one way trip out of Toronto. If I was the Leafs GM and my captain, the 3x rocket winner, started blaming his teammates after he scored a single goal all series, I'd do everything in my power to get his useless ass off my team ASAP.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Complete protection with iPru All-in-one Term Plan ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo A fifth fan noted, 'Matthew's should have never been captain. Pretty simple. I would trade him but Ik that's too extreme for reality.'
