Kyle Dubas Defends His Massive Tristan Jarry Extension

Dubas' Busy Day

Yesterday, the Pittsburgh Penguins were one of the most active teams in the free agent market. They signed multiple players such as Ryan Graves, Alex Nedeljkovic, Lars Eller, and Noel Acciari.

One of the major moves was giving Tristan Jarry a five-year contract extension worth $5.375 million.

Many people think Dubas overpaid for the goalie, but he doesn't seem to think so.

Here's what he said during an interview:


Now that this is out of the way, let's hope Jarry can remain healthy to give 100% in every game.
