This is a tough read, it felt like it was gonna be hard for Pittsburgh to move on from Jarry with how thin the FA crop was this year.
After the first hour or two of FA, their options looked even worse. He's shown flashes of being a high quality goalie, but the injuries are a real concern.
The cap hit feels a bit higher than the estimations I saw, but there had to be some intense pressure built from the fact they he could just walk.
Ultimately, this feels like the best option they had with what was available. I'll be interested to see if there are any no movement terms.
