Solid Deal

 

[Son Goku]

Guessing hes the official backup now

 

[Ugene Magic]

About time.

Guessing hes the official backup now

Actually this probably means he will be in WBS all year if MM stays healthy. 2 way deal this season and he's waiver exempt where as DeSmith needs to clear waivers if he were to be sent down.

 

[Turin]

Remember when he turned his entire body to face the puck behind the net and stood there as if it was a valid technique.

Good times.

 

[Gurglesons]

Finally a discount this off season..

 

[EightyOne]

Nice n cheap. Good for WBS likely good for the Pens come Feb.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

DeSmith doesnt have the pedigree so most arent high on him but I liked what I saw from him last year. Think he can be a solid backup. And if not, call up Jarry.

Back up goalies are pretty gettable throughout the year too (if they want Jarry to play more ie in the AHL)

Edit: Sully said De Smith when he’s on a hot streak he can be really good. He just hasn’t strung enough together to be an NHL regular

 

[DegenX]

Good deal. Just as an FYI, CapFriendly has Jarry listed on the AHL roster. The AHL thread is here for those interested.

 

[wej20]

I think they'll start with DeSmith as the backup but if he struggles then we have Jarry good to go.

 

[The Tanevificent]

This is a great deal. Good Insurance policy for both parties.

[ColePens]

Very freaking good!

No.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

I truly like this, solid deal. That 1-way/2-way is interesting, not sure if I have seen that one before.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Interesting how it was structured. Essentially, it being a two-way deal suggests they're thinking of playing him in the AHL a lot this upcoming season, then him being permanent in 2019-20 when it becomes a one-way deal.

Oh, he'll be up in the NHL 2019-20.....will it be for Pittsburgh is the question...

Unless it’s part of a big deal or a huge overpayment 1 for 1 (unlikely), he’ll be here.

I think he’ll be a good starter (1b at worst) in 3 years. Small chance he could be better than Murray. He has part of Fleury’s athleticism and part of Murray’s positioning. If he puts it together with good decision making he’ll be great. Long way to go though.

Unless they still like DeSmith a lot and Jarry continues his current progress well enough that there's no way you can get him through waivers. I feel its at least 1 in 3 that one of those three things happen.

He will still be RFA after this deal, so unless he gets some incredible chance to show case himself over the next two years and plays lights out. He will still be a Pen.

Our goalie situation is prettyyy prettyyyyy good.

If they deliver yes. I personally don't like DeSmith but he can be a solid back up if he's on a streak and if he's not, Jarry can come up and we can carry 3 for a while.

Yup. The main thing is that we have contingency plans.
