Penguins fans' comments go viral as Tristan Jarry to Edmonton trade talk spreads
The Tristan Jarry to Edmonton rumors are heating up, and Penguins fans have been commenting online, with certain things they've said having gone viral.
Three goalies currently in the top ten in save percentage belong to last year's starters, and the other seven belong to backups. Hesjer Wallstedt, who leads at the moment, had a save percentage of .879 in the last season.
Devin Cooley had a save percentage of .905. They lead at the moment with save percentages of .935 and .930.
But such unpredictability gives rise to another goaltender in the league who happens to be playing, as Penguins' Tristan Jarry stands 8th in the league with a .914 save percentage in eight appearances.
After several low performances in the low season, including an AHL assignment, many Penguins' fans are eagerly waiting to see him get traded away.

But there appear to be some voices from NHL analysts and insiders who are not entirely sure that he will be the answer.
TSN's Jeff O'Neill on the 100% Hockey Podcast, and John Shannon, believe that Jordan Binnington would be a more attractive target for Edmonton to acquire.
"I don't understand the Jarry (interest). Jarry was in the minors not long ago. I think he would be as big a risk as Skinner would be. I have no idea why you think you would be improving it to a degree where you might settle things down They're not going to be going to hashtag 'Now we go,' if they get Tristan Jarry."

"I like the player as a person, but I don't want to see Tristan Jarry in it (trade talk). I don't want to hear any stories about, 'Let's bring an Oil King back.' I don't want to hear them. That doesn't wash for me. I mean, the reason Tristan Jarry might be available is because he's the third best goalie in the Pittsburgh system. And that might tell you where he is in his progression."
"I love Jordan Binnington's fight. I love Jordan Binnington's professionalism. If Jordan Binnington were available - and I'm not suggesting he is because I don't think we really know - but if Jordan Binnington were available, I would be trying to get Jordan Binnington."

He has not had outstanding results, ranking 43rd in the league in save percentage at .881, but former NHL goaltender and current lead analyst at Hockey Central, Darren Pang, believes that he is good enough to make the 2026 Team Canada.
Why the rumors between Tristan Jarry and the Oilers started in the first place
The Tristan Jarry rumors all began with ESPN analyst Kevin Weekes' connection of Jarry with Edmonton, which Penguins' fans passionately welcomed. Jarry has a $5.375 million cap hit, which expires in two seasons.
Fans can get it wrong, of course. Skinner can turn it around in other places, and Jarry can settle in in other scenarios. Goaltenders are always unpredictable, and guarantees are not always a given.
