I imply, clearly nothing has occurred, but it surely’s occurred.
Jarry, he had six shutouts final 12 months. That was among the finest numbers within the league, and he had a save share proper across the league common. These are good numbers. Such as you have a look at the numbers and also you say, I like that, however there’s an inconsistency to him.
He’s a type of guys. He will get harm too. And, simply by the actual fact I heard his identify type of talked a few bit, I believe with the Penguins, it’s type of like we like Jarry, however we wish to see extra. We wish to see him be a bit extra reliable. And that’s not placing him on waivers like they did with (Ville) Husso.
However to me, that was somewhat little bit of, we don’t thoughts if he’s somewhat bit insecure about his place. We don’t need him to be comfy in considering I’m the man. He has to verify he retains that designation. That’s what that mentioned to me about what Sullivan was doing.”

Whereas Dubas and firm need him to work on his recreation within the NHL, placing him on waivers and sending him to the minors could be the most suitable choice.
