Is Tristan Jarry a contender for the Vezina?

Was reading the following article. No question a lot of homers feel Jarry should be considered for the Vezina Trophy

What do you think? Is his play this year hitting the marks needed to be considered the best goaltender in the NHL?

Obviously there's still season left to be played but as of today where does he rank for you?

He is absolutely in the running
Jarry may be the main reason the Penguins are doing as good as they are.

How about some on the The Fan Pittsburgh 2:00 to 6:00 wanting another goal tender and or unless he proves himself in the playoffs.

Another thing on the Penguins. They won back to back Stanley Cups in 2016 & 2017 but that's not good enough.
Consider the Flyers, their last cup 1975

I would agree that with all of the roster difficulties due to COVID and injuries that he's a big reason for the W's.

For that last part, that's just success leading to a higher than normal bar where good enough isn't good enough because the expectation is exceptional.

Dynasties aren't common, but they all have expiration dates in a league that got a legitimate contender out of an expansion team.
Is he veniza worthy? Absolutely, but he's on the cusp of burnout. In 16/17 they had 2 (technically 3) solid goaltenders. This season they have one.
