Jagr to Flames

[IPv6Freely 2092]

1 mil salary + 1 mil in potential bonus. I think that's a steal. Would also love to see him break Howe's record for career games played.

Sort of totally insane he even got to October before he signed.

Also weird that he went to the Flames given everything that was said about his list of wants, especially low taxes.

He can still play but is no longer a 1st line player imo. He can still play but what's he really going to do for your team ? He is taking valuable ice time from emerging players. There are only 2 scenarios where I think he can be a valuable player. Since he is a legend I am sure his presence, experience and wisdom would rub off on younger players. The other situation is if he helps pushes a team over the edge with his existing skills. He is still a big and strong player and scorer, Its hard to stop that. So I am imagine if he played with the right player they could be dangerous. Maybe someone like Auston Matthews ? Auston Matthews is another big and strong player with good control and skating, he could get in down low and feed Jagr. Maybe that would work ?

I would say Connor McDavid but they play completely different styles of games.

But then again, I kind of question whether Auston Matthews and Jagr line up would work because I believe both players want to hold onto the puck. There is only one puck.

I like the signing. I saw how much better Giroux was when Jags played here in Philly. It was a couple of years ago but I do think he bring a desirable veteran presence for the kids...
