Penguins Rumors: What Could Pittsburgh Get In A Trade For Tristan Jarry?

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry reacts during 2025 game.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are still gauging the market for goaltender Tristan Jarry, and Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now believes the team could net a respectable return if general manager Kyle Dubas decides to move on from the 30-year-old. 

Despite Jarry’s struggles last season, Kingerski suggests that retaining salary could help the Penguins secure a second and fourth-round pick in a deal.

Market Comparisons and Trade Scenarios

Kingerski points to recent goaltender trades as benchmarks. Earlier this offseason, the Anaheim Ducks sent John Gibson to the Detroit Red Wings for a second-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and Petr Mrazek. With Jarry carrying a $5.375 million cap hit for three more years and a career .909 save percentage, a similar package is possible if the Penguins retain part of his salary.

Persistent speculation continues to link Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers, who were also interested in former Vancouver Canucks netminder Arturs Silovs before Pittsburgh acquired him for a fourth-round pick. Edmonton, in need of more goaltending stability after two straight Stanley Cup Final appearances, could view Jarry as a buy-low candidate given his late-season rebound and playoff experience.

Penguins’ Goalie Picture Moving Forward

The Penguins are leaning into a rebuild and may choose to roll with a younger tandem of Silovs and prospect Joel Blomqvist if Jarry is moved. While the goaltender has been a two-time All-Star, his tenure has had a lot of inconsistency and memorable playoff struggles. If Dubas can extract future draft capital, it could accelerate Pittsburgh’s retooling effort.
