“I Will Personally Drive Him to Edmonton”: Feedback on Jarry Rumors

Some people love the idea that the Edmonton Oilers have been linked to Tristan Jarry in trade speculation. Interestingly, it’s not just Oilers fans who have an opinion on the rumors. One account wrote, “I will personally drive him to Edmonton,” a reaction given to the idea of the Penguins moving on from Jarry and his contract.

Other fans jumped aboard the Jarry talk and this post, responding, “Let me know if you need gas money or even a rental car!” and “I’ll pay for the gas.”

Needless to say, there are some fans in Pittsburgh who aren’t Jarry fans and would welcome a move that would send him elsewhere. Jarry is not the solution, figured a few fans who don’t love that the Oilers might be willing to give up a question mark in Stuart Skinner for another question mark in Jarry. At best, he would be a maybe, making no difference at all behind incredibly bad defensive coverage that would make even the best goalie in the league look like he’s destined for the minors.

And, the interesting thing about Jarry is that he isn’t that far removed from the minors. This is a netminder who has struggled. He’s having a good season in 2025-26, but to say he’s a sure thing is far from accurate. In 36 games for the Penguins last season, he had a 3.09 goals against average and a .893 save percentage.

Which goaltender is he? Is he the stud who played five solid seasons with the Penguins before falling apart in 2024-25? Or, is he more the goalie from last year, just on a temporary high behind an overperforming Penguins roster in 2025-26? Bryan Hayes of TSN OverDrive commented, “This is change for the sake of change.” He’s not sold on the idea that this is an upgrade for the Oilers, who reportedly want more time before making a decision on Stuart Skinner or Calvin Pickard.
