Oilers Flip Janmark and Henrique to Penguins for Shocking Return in Bold Trade Proposal

The Penguins have made it known that goalie Tristan Jarry is available, but there has been no real interest, according to insider Josh Yohe.

The Penguins said they would trade Tristan Jarry if the right offer came along, but so far, there hasn't been one that has caught GM Kyle Dubas' attention.

That leaves the Edmonton Oilers with an intriguing dilemma. Maybe not today, maybe not even in a few months' time, but by the trade deadline, Jarry could be a suitable candidate.

The 30-year-old netminder hasn't left much out on the ice for teams to summon him. A former 2020 and 2022 All-Star, Jarry's play has fallen off sharply.

Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas is optimistic that his goalie will recover, but making the other team believe that is the challenge.

For Edmonton, the question is timing. If Dubas wants to get Jarry out and can't get other offers, does Jarry suddenly become a much cheaper option?

With his home team completing a trade for Arturs Silovs to pair with Joel Blomqvist, Jarry's future in Pittsburgh for next season is highly uncertain.

That's where the Oilers can enter, quite possibly as Pittsburgh's white knight to help fuel the team out of his deal.

One user on X, "NewWorldOilers," suggested a very bold trade: Edmonton could send Mattias Janmark and Adam Henrique to the Penguins, take on Jarry's full $5.2M cap hit, and ask for a first-round draft pick in return.

The Oilers would then have the option in their pocket to trade that pick by the deadline for a star rental player, if needed.

Thus far, this remains a hypothesis. But as the year goes on, Jarry's situation may well find itself in harmony with Edmonton's needs.
