Penguins Secure Future with Key Signings in NHL Free Agency

TL;DR Summary
The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed goaltender Tristan Jarry to a five-year deal worth $5.375 million per year. Critics argue that the contract is too long and expensive for a goalie who has yet to prove himself in the postseason. However, the Penguins were limited in their options due to a weak free-agent class. Jarry has been a decent starter for the Penguins, but not an elite goalie. While there is value in knowing what they're getting with Jarry, signing a goalie to a long-term deal is always a risky proposition. Overall, the contract is graded as a D, but the fit with the Penguins is considered a B.
