Because Demkonat his best is better than Jarry at his best. A team in the Penguins situation might have to take a risk like that if they want another shot
Let's assume Demko at his best is better than Jarry at his best. IMO, right now we're seeing some of Jarry's best and some of Demko's worst. If we pull the trigger on this trade, why should we expect to be getting Demko's best? It seems to me like incredible risk for minimal reward. And if we don't get Demko's best, we're in a worse position than if we had kept Jarry.
But I don't think Demko's best is better than Jarry's.
Demko's best season was last year. In 64 games, he had a .915 SV%, a 14.9 GSAA, a 7.3 GSAx and received a 3rd place Vezina vote. The only one of those that isn't his career best is GSAx.
Jarry in the same year had in 58 games a .919 SV%, a 21.1 GSAA, a 6.58 GSAx, and also received a 3rd place Vezina vote. The only one of those that *is* Jarry's career best is GSAA.
Jarry also had Vezina and *Hart* votes in 2019-20. Demko only had Vezina votes last season.
