NHL analyst Michael Amato of 'Sportsnet' revealed the Oilers could target Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry for a buy-low option that could produce high rewards. The Edmonton Oilers are right up against the cap, so any roster changes would need to be pretty much a one-for-one or minor salary intakes. Tristan Jarry is <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/nhl-insider-reveals-oilers-could-look-to-acquire-salary-retained-goaltender-from-eastern-conference-team' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a goalie available, a homegrown boy</a> who played his junior seasons in Edmonton. It would be a gamble to get him, though. <a href='https://www.nhl.com/penguins/player/tristan-jarry-8477465' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Tristan Jarry</a> did not have a great season at all with the Pittsburgh Penguins, with a .893 save percentage and a GAA over 3. He was waived to the AHL and played there, and the Penguins once again failed to qualify for the playoffs for the third straight year. <h3>Jarry's value is as low as it can be, so the time to act is now</h3> Considering the risk, this could be the Oilers' best opportunity they would ever have to acquire him. Jarry's value is at its lowest ever, so the Oilers wouldn't need to give up much to acquire him. His cap hit would drop around $3 million if Pittsburgh absorbed some of his salary, which could be a key component to a trade, which is way more in Edmonton's ballpark, <a href='https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/friday-four-should-the-oilers-target-tristan-jarry/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>per NHL analyst Michael Amato of 'Sportsnet.'</a> He's coming off a horrendous season, which included a demotion to the AHL after he cleared waivers. The 30-year-old finished with a save percentage of .893 and a goals against average of over three, for a Pittsburgh squad that missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season. As risky as it would be to bring Jarry in, the above reasons may also make it the perfect time to acquire him. You'd be buying low and the return wouldn't be astronomical for a goaltender coming off a season like Jarry had. Plus, if the Pens ate some of the cap hit, you could potentially get Jarry's number down to around the $3 million range. That brings some of the risk down and makes the remaining years of the deal more palatable. - Michael Amato <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1948753753013977124'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> That would lower his price and make the remainder of his deal something endurable. The Penguins have also recently acquired goalie Arturs Silovs, which could indicate they are willing to get rid of Jarry. Because Pittsburgh is likely to be gunning for the number one pick in the 2026 draft and top prospect Gavin McKenna, they might not want to compete as much and would much rather rebuild instead. Swapping Jarry out for an inexperienced, less-established tandem such as Arturs Silovs and Joel Blomqvist might provide them with a greater chance of landing next year's number one pick. No matter which way this situation turns out, one thing is for sure: both clubs will be heading in completely opposite directions next season, and both have very different goals.
