Despite Tristan Jarry's five-year contract, Pittsburgh Penguins fans are abuzz with speculation about the potential trade of the star goalie.

Jarry's $5.375 million annual salary and the emergence of two promising goalie prospects contribute to ongoing discussions on live chats and sports radio shows.

Potential Destinations:

- Ottawa Senators: Jarry could be a fit if they can't re-sign Linus Ullmark next summer.

- Buffalo Sabres or Detroit Red Wings: Jarry might appeal to these teams if they face goaltending issues.

- Other Teams: Injuries or struggles could make teams like Colorado or Utah potential suitors.

Dubas aims to acquire draft picks and young talent while maintaining a strong NHL roster. There's speculation about talks with Anaheim regarding John Gibson, with Jarry also mentioned in trade discussions.

"Next summer, if the Ottawa Senators can't re-sign Linus Ullmark or if things go south in Buffalo or Detroit, Jarry could be a great fit for those teams. It's challenging to predict which teams will need a goalie at the NHL trade deadline, as injuries, unexpected struggles, or general dissatisfaction could open up new opportunities (think Colorado or Utah). Dubas is keen on acquiring draft picks and young talent but must first ensure he maintains the strongest possible NHL roster."

Trading Jarry before their prospects are ready could backfire, making careful handling crucial. Revisiting Jarry's trade talks next summer seems likely.
