Oilers Could Already Look to Move Tristan Jarry This Summer?

There’s no denying that the trade for Tristan Jarry in December has blown up in GM Stan Bowman and the Edmonton Oilers’ faces throughout the first four months of the experiment. Injuries and poor play have led Connor Ingram to take over the starting role and run with it, and barring a drastic dip in play or injury, Jarry is unlikely to reclaim that spot this season.

As a result, questions are already being raised about the newly acquired netminder’s future with the team, which includes Jeremy Tingly of NHL Trade Rumors listing Jarry in a recent article on three goalies expected to be dealt this offseason.

“Jarry’s experiment in Edmonton has not gone as planned, and there’s little doubt he’s moved this offseason. He’s gotten into it with players in practice, he’s struggled when he’s started, and frankly, the homecoming hasn’t worked out in the least. Jarry’s under contract for two more years at $5.3 million AAV, and owns a 12-team no-trade list. In 16 games with the Oilers, Jarry’s posted a 8-6-1 record, with a 4.03 GAA and dismal .856 save percentage,”

The 30-year-old Jarry is in year three of his aforementioned five-year, $26.875 million contract signed with the Penguins back in 2023, which includes a modified 12-team no-trade list. He’s posted a 17-9-2 record to go with a 3.34 goals-against average, an .883 save percentage, and two shutouts across 27 starts with Pittsburgh and Edmonton.
