Description

What is the goalie plan moving forward for you guys? I'm so intrigued by Blomqvist and thought he was such a great pick when you got him. Lit up Liiga and looks to be doing extremely well in WBS. Is he your future #1? Or is Jarry your guy and Blom the 1B/backing up Jarry next year?

I don't think a trade would make sense, but I'd love for the Devils to have a guy like that.

If you guys are buying toward the deadline, is he someone that's a trade chip or a complete untouchable?

I truly think they would need to overpay a bit because he is most likely the future starter for the pens

So would you say Jarry most likely gets moved in a year or they run a tandem?

I think Blomqvist is 100% our next #1. He's been fantastic. With Ned expiring next year, he will most likely get the backup role for a year or two to see how he performs. By that point Jarry will probably have to be moved, or they'll keep the tandom and rotate them.

It is really hard to say. Jarry has been playing good, nedeljkovic is playing way better than anyone expected and Blomqvist has looked like a future superstar so I would say they run with jarry and Ned for most of next while also getting Blomqvist to play a few games then run with jarry and Blomqvist, then after 1 or 2 seasons with Blomqvist backing up he probably becomes the starter and jarry is moved for a prospect and a couple picks

I think they will run tandem. My guess is next season will be he first shot at backup, but I'm sure he'll still need a couple of years before he's ready to take the healm, so it will probably the kind of situation in three years where the Pens could look to trade Jarry if Blomqvist is ready.
