Tristan Jarry cleared waivers today. That comes as no surprise, per PuckPedia only 11 teams have the available $5.375 million in cap space currently to fit the goalie into their salary structures. Given that Jarry’s contract continues for three more seasons after this one, it’s easily understandable that no other NHL club was interested in picking that contract up considering it comes paired with a struggling goaltender.
The natural questions that comes in focus are, what does is mean and what is next?
Penguin GM Kyle Dubas provided much of the answers in comments yesterday.
