Tristan Jarry inked the richest deal for a goalie in Penguins history before last season, and now it's been revealed that some were against the move from the outset.

The news was simultaneously unsurprising and shocking. After another subpar performance by goalie Tristan Jarry Tuesday night against the Seattle Kraken, the Pittsburgh Penguins put their No. 1 goalie on waivers.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have placed starting goaltender Tristan Jarry, who signed a five-year extension in July 2023, on waivers.

Buried within Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas’s impromptu press conference at the front of the Penguins locker room at their practice facility in Cranberry were a couple of nuggets that cut to the heart of the situation and goalie Tristan Jarry’s future with the organization.

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Tristan Jarry was placed on waivers by the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.

Understandably, Jarry’s talent seduced the Penguins for a long time. He’s a top 10 NHL goalie in terms of physical gifts. He’s big, athletic and handles the puck beautifully. There’s nothing he can’t do physically, which is why the Penguins have been so patient. Jarry hasn’t been some sensational bust. He made two NHL All-Star games.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins ran out of patience waiting for two-time All-Star goaltender Tristan Jarry to emerge from a slump, placing him on waivers Wednesday ahead of a pivotal seven-game road trip that could determine the course of the rest of their season.

The Tristan Jarry era in Pittsburgh isn’t over just yet. Jarry, the 29-year-old goalie, cleared waivers and can now be sent to the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Pittsburgh’s AHL affiliate, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman and others reported on Thursday.

The Penguins’ goaltending crisis started when the general manager made the right decision. No, not when current GM Kyle Dubas gave Tristan Jarry a five-year, $26.875 million contract in 2023. That was the wrong decision,

When examining Dubas's words, this isn't just a call-up for the sake of a change. The organization clearly sees something special in the 23-year-old Blomqvist, who is one season removed from earning AHL first-team All-Star honors.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (18-20-8) tanked their recent five-game homestand, winning only once. The resulting fallout was a drop in the standings behind six teams for a playoff spot, and general manager Kyle Dubas waived starting goalie Tristan Jarry.
