Bukauskas: “One other identify that had been on the market you had been trying round on-line the previous few days, Tristan Jarry. Being linked to the Edmonton Oilers. I imply, there was that shot of the hug between Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard that appeared to linger a bit bit after that win in opposition to Seattle on Thursday. And everybody’s attempting to decode, okay, ‘What, what does that imply? What does that imply?’

That was one other a part of Headlines on Saturday for you, Elliotte. Jarry and the Oilers, what’s occurring, if something?”
Friedman: “So there was a, there was a put up on Friday night time that indicated a deal was completed with 50% retention. And you already know, the one factor that’s completely true is that Edmonton confirmed loads of curiosity in Jarry. Like, that’s actual. I can’t bear in mind who was the primary to report it, but it surely’s true.
And what I type of needed to work via was what was truth and what was fiction. And I’ll inform you that what was truth is that the Oilers favored the concept. And what’s additionally truth, and it actually defined loads of this Pickard stuff to me, Kyle, that you just and I’ve talked about, and that he admitted to you, that he type of knew. I believe he knew that if that they had gotten Jarry, he was out.
That, as a result of I’ve since discovered it wasn’t going to be Jarry for Skinner, it was going to be Jarry and Skinner. Which, you already know, one of many issues we’ve talked about so much is that the Oilers weren’t going to make a change in aim until they actually imagine they might have enchancment. And I believe you’d make an argument {that a} Skinner-Jarry mixture, assuming each might keep wholesome, it was an enchancment. They usually had been hoping that that’s what they might do, and the 2 of them would push one another and drive one another to turn out to be higher. That was their aim.
Now, what occurred that has ended issues for now, is that I’m informed Pittsburgh is completely unwilling to retain. Jarry has two extra years at just below $5.4 million, and so they, the Penguins have made it very clear that in the event that they had been going to do that, there was going to be no retention.
And in the event you’re an Oiler fan, you already know that that’s going to be very onerous for them to do. The Oilers are capped tight, and proper now they’ve received loads of accidents, and guys simply out and in, and so they’re barely carrying further gamers. Like their roster is caught. In order that they actually couldn’t do loads of stuff even when they wished to with out greenback in, greenback out. Type of like we mentioned with New Jersey.

So principally, the place we’re is, sure, they do like Jarry. Sure, they’d like to have a Jarry-Skinner mixture, or wish to have it. However no, they’ll’t do it of their current scenario until our bodies exit.
So principally, what I used to be informed was, might it occur? Probably. Would they prefer it to occur? Yeah, I believe they’d have an interest. Can it occur? Very, very onerous and will not occur.”
