Would you welcome Jagr on the Devils?

This was posted on the trade rumor board - apparently a radio station in Canada is saying that Jagr wants out of Russia. They said he is interested in signing with New Jersey and would be willing to take 1.5M - 2M in order to fit under the cap.

Take it for what it's worth, but hypothetically would you be willing to take Jagr on the Devils? Even with all of the issues surrounding Jagr I would probably take him, but we would have to move one of our wingers in order to make it happen.

Lemieux's Daughter (Don Cherry's nickname for him) would be welcome on this team. He would be an upgrade over most of the roster in terms of finishing goals.

Trade the floaters and clear cap space.

yes yes and more yes

I'm not sure. If we were to sign him, I wouldn't be upset, but I wouldn't really be over joyed either. He's still a great player and he's better than most of what we have on the wing, but I hate the guy. Although, Elias-Zubrus-Jagr might be pretty ****ing sweet.

Only if he grows the mullet back

yes i would. jagr is too talented to overlook. heck call me utterly insane, but i actually would be for a yashin experiment. granted his pay would have to be 1 million(or less) with lots of incentive bonuses. prolly the only way to get him to perform. but jagr sure would look interesting with elias. aint happening though.

I put no...just because I don't like the guy. No other reason than that.

Of course I would. Why wouldn't anyone?

you'd have to. A player of his caliber... and at that supposed price? Sure, his skills have dropped. What is he doing in Russia stats-wise?

At the very least, he'd gameup against the Rangers

Is there any more choice more negative in response than "no"?

Who wouldn't like a good player on their team?

i vogted no but i meant yes, for 1.5-2 that would be a steal, and a huge slap in teh face to the rangers which would be nice because of the whole gomez ordeal

all hypotheticals of course, but we could move gionta for a defensman and put jagr on the top line

i'm sorry, but anyone saying no to this needs to take off the homer glasses.

Jagr at 1.5 - 2 mil is a Black Friday deal, if on Black Friday stores were giving away $300 xbox 360's for 10 bucks....

the guy is a premiere talent (even though on the decline) and would instantly make the Devils a better team.

could you imagine.....
elias zubrus jagr
parise zajac rolston

Why would he take such a discount to play in NJ? Could you imagine our forward lineup...

I think this would also be good for Elias as i think they'll play together really well. Does anyone know if they ever played on the same line before in any international games?

could you imagine.....

perhaps he is trying to take a wizz in Sather's face...right in his own backyard none-the-less

I think this would also be good for Elias as i think they'll play together really well. Does anyone know if they ever played on the same line before in any international games?

im sure htey have. elias and jagr are pretty similar players, jagr just better and stronger. both are great passers so they could help each other in that aspect

Even our third line at that point if we didnt trade anyone would be awesome

Gio-Madden-Langenbrunner

Even our third line at that point if we didnt trade anyone would be awesome

Gio-Madden-Langenbrunner

gionta would have to go probably, or atleast someone, and he would make the most sense

altho zubrus and jagr are both good puck possesion soooo
parise zajac jagr
elias zubrus rolston

all hypotheticals of course, but we could move gionta for a defensman and put jagr on the top line
Elias-Zubrus-Jagr
Parise-Zajac-Rolston
Pando-Madden-Langer
Rupp-Holik-Clarkson

That is pretty ****in solid.

perhaps he is trying to take a wizz in Sather's face...right in his own backyard none-the-less

Only reasons I can think of are, he wants to win another cup and still live in NYC.

i vogted no but i meant yes

vogted? how peculiar you would type that

could you imagine.....
elias zubrus jagr
parise zajac rolston

Pando-Madden-Langs
Rupp-Holik-Clarkson

Gionta traded for cap space/pics/possibly packaged for a defender.

Unbelievable

No Thank You I would rather see some of the young guys stay up.............Rather then Jagr take up a roster spot. We have enough old veterans on the the team too.
I don't question his skill I just don't like his attitude about things. At points when the rags needed him he choose to pass it off like the shootout.

On a side note I don't think I could handle anymore from rag fans if that happen. lol

So in desperation to beat the Rangers, we become the rangers one player at a time by signing Shanahan and Jagr.

:facepalm:

No Thank You I would rather see some of the young guys stay up.............Rather then Jagr take up a roster spot. We have enough old veterans on the the team too.

Screw the young guys, it's ****ing Jagr.

gionta would have to go probably, or atleast someone, and he would make the most sense

haha yeah i was just kidding on the most part, because if Jagr came Gio would be gone for a dman before you could spell Jaromir backwards. Jagr would solve alot of problems on this team. He might even be the direct cause for our problems to be solved. Because if you get Jagr at 2 mil, then Gio gets traded at 4 mil for a top 4 dman, then at the end of the year we have enough cap space, with a possible cup!

but this is all hypothetical. i would seriously **** my pants if Jagr ever came to the devils.

No Thank You I would rather see some of the young guys stay up.............Rather then Jagr take up a roster spot. We have enough old veterans on the the team too.

The young guys are only getting 4 minutes a night. And besides, this would only be a 1 year deal and Jagr would walk in July.

i'm sorry, but anyone saying no to this needs to take off the homer glasses.

It's a matter of opinion....no one here is right or wrong, so just relax. And, it also has nothing to do with being a homer.

rumor is ********, it was based off some hypothetical in an article somewhere, where "if" Jagr wasn't getting paid, maybe he'd go back to the NHL, he'd like to live in NYC, so the Rangers couldn't afford him capwise, he'd play for the Devils instead.

My thoughts exactly. This would be too good to be true.

why not? they got the devs sloppy seconds, latino style. all we need to do is get back to the dominance of a few years back they so easily forget. then the playing field will be even again, irregardless of whos getting whos former players.

unfortunatly this will never happen because this is the last year of the bargin agreemant and unless a new one is made by the nhl, all performace bonuses count towards the cap.

It's a matter of opinion....no one here is right or wrong, so just relax. And, it also has nothing to do with being a homer.

You're wrong

I hated Jagr too, even when he became a Ranger. The guy does magical things, though. You guys essentially witnessed first hand what he did for the Rangers. As much as you think you hate him, the minute he were to sign with the Devils would be the minute a third of the fan base bought a 68 Devils jersey.

As someone else stated, take off the homer glasses. If Jagr did what he did with the Rangers except with the Calgary Flames then there wouldn't be a single vote for "no." I know you guys have other needs, such as that #1 defenseman, but if any of you would turn down a potential 30+ goal scorer not in a trade with a contract under 3 million then you need to get your head examined.

That said, I don't think that this rumor is likely at all. I will say that though I clearly would hate him becoming a Devil as a Ranger fan, I would be very happy from a pure hockey perspective if he came back.

why not? they got the devs sloppy seconds, latino style. all we need to do is get back to the dominance of a few years back they so easily forget. then the playing field will be even again, irregardless of whos getting whos former players.

No more old players lol...............I will say yes if u can promise no more Holik then. :)



And for the person calling the people saying no a homer. That has nothing to do with me say no..................I can see Jagr coming here and then all of u turning on him in a heart beat because doesn't work out lol Cough Pando Cough

You're wrong

you're right

I would get a 68 Jagr jersey just to piss off all of my Ranger friends.

This is random

Pretty crazy rumor too.. Is there a source or anything?

If there is any truth to this.. Yes, I would be willing to pick him up at the airport and carry his bags

Jagr's icetime under Sutter: 04:38 per game....

You're wrong

And that's your opinion.....and you can take that opinion and shove it where the sun don't shine!

Have a great day sir...

It's a matter of opinion....no one here is right or wrong, so just relax. And, it also has nothing to do with being a homer.
why would you think I am not relaxed?

But to say that you wouldn't take Jagr on this team at that price for any reason than we would have to get rid of a group of our core players (ie marty, zach, zajac, madden, elias, etc) is madness.

The guy can play, and he wouldn't be the centerpiece of our offense, and best of all...he walks in July and thats it.

So basically there is no logical reason to NOT want Jagr on this team at that price (assuming the rumors are true of course)

Pando-Madden-Langs
Rupp-Holik-Clarkson

Gionta traded for cap space/pics/possibly packaged for a defender.

Unbelievable




pando madden clarkson
rupp holik vrana

langs gets traded with gio for defender

I look at it as a switch between Gionta and Jagr. I guess the terms are all important. But lets say its for one year (ideal situation)

We trade Gionta and get assets/lose cap space. We sign Jagr. Essentially you replace one with the other, and Gio gives you some picks (or maybe a package with another Dman for an upgrade on the blue line).

Who would you rather have come playoff time? Gio or Jagr?

Granted, for me to believe Jagr wants to come here... I'd have to accept that I'm pretty sure he'd want a couple of years in his contract. In which case, it might still be worth it but i wouldn't consider it a no-brainer like a one-year

pando madden clarkson
rupp holik vrana

langs gets traded with gio for defender

Langs goes nowhere, buttmunch

Langs goes nowhere

you said it, not us

No more old players lol...............I will say yes if u can promise no more Holik then. :)



And for the person calling the people saying no a homer. That has nothing to do with me say no..................I can see Jagr coming here and then all of u turning on him in a heart beat because doesn't work out lol Cough Pando Cough
except that Jagr would be getting paid the same if not less than Pando, and (I am assuming this of course) would be off the books come July.

so he two situations are completely different.

Langs goes nowhere, buttmunch

yea well langs on the third just made it slower and older

Langs goes nowhere, buttmunch

Langs Gio 2nd for Sergei Zubov and a 3rd :naughty::sarcasm:

"You'll get nothing and like it!"

I'm so disappointed that people are voting no

Lou won't do it anyway he is smarter then that I hope...................I love how some of u complain u want to give certain players from Lowell a chance............YET u wants to take a roster spot away for Jagr? I rather see young up and coming player take that spot and a chance. Then to add yet another old player. (And again I am not doubting Jagr talent but it not the right thing to do here)



PLus I thought we needed a D man NOT another forward lol...............I want a D before even thinking about signing Jagr

I'm so disappointed that people are voting no

Good...I love disappointing you! It makes my day.

I'm so disappointed that people are voting no

what dosn't kill ya makes you stronger

Absolutely. Put him with Elias and let them do their magic. :yo:

Having Jagr would make other forwards expendable for trade, no?

Is there a skilled D-man out there that is unsigned that you would like Lou to sign?

I'm so disappointed that people are voting no

I know. Other then this year, it`s been impossible for us to acquire a free agent and now we have someone like Jagr that would take a massive paycut (according to the rumor) just to play for this team and some poeple won`t like it ?!?!?

Gimme a freakin break :amazed:

Having Jagr would make other forwards expendable for trade, no?

Richard Matvichuk.

PLus I thought we needed a D man NOT another forward lol...............I want a D before even thinking about signing Jagr

Acquiring Jagr makes players like Gionta more expandable and will give that little extra from our part to acquire a good defencemen... no ??? And comparing rookies like Bergfors and Vrana that get a average of 4 minutes/game and a star player (because he's no superstar anymore) like Jagr that can log easily 15 to 20 minutes/game is making my head hurt... How you can compare the both is beyond me ???

And who would u give up then if jagr makes other forward expendable for trade?
http://www.hotstovenewyork.com/gionta.jpg

I couldn't imagine anyone saying no to Jagr at $3M or less

Are people really getting this riled up because a few people said no?

No wonder our GDT's look like mass suicides...

I couldn't imagine anyone saying no to Jagr at $3M or less

That's what I'm saying. People here are ridiculous.

It's just that the logic isn't being respected... that's all.

i voted a simple yes. id like to see more develop out of this story also.

It's just that the logic isn't being respected... that's all.

Who cares? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. So what, someone doesn't agree with you....MOVE ON!

Seriously....it's a rumor that probably won't even come true and you're jumping all over the people that said no.

It's an INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD....WHO CARES whether or not someone said yes or no?

Further more, if you want respect, then respect the people that said "NO" because there opinions aren't getting respected either.

Yes for several reasons.

A) It would allow us to dump Gionta.
B) He can finish, which is our biggest problem according to our head coach and captain.
C) If we managed to win a cup with him, we'd have endless opportunities to flame on the Rags board.

I couldn't imagine anyone saying no to Jagr at $3M or less

Ya because Jagr will take something like that.............If I was Jagr I would laugh at that person. I would rather retire then to accept that.

We can always trade him for J-bo too

The rumor is he's willing to take a pay cut to fit into our cap

Just Gio last I looked a lot of them were having problems finishing. Not just one player its a team thing so far.

Ranger fans would have the biggest laugh if this ever happen. They wanted him gone too.

The rumor is he's willing to take a pay cut to fit into our cap

I would go to a team that could fit me in with no cap issues. I am telling u this will lead to nothing but problems if it happens mark my words. But I have nothing to worry about since it won't happen.

Ya because Jagr will take something like that.............If I was Jagr I would laugh at that person. I would rather retire then to accept that.
The KHL isn't paying their players anything. In fact, given the Cherepanov tragedy, I would be willing to bet that Jagr would pay money to get out of there.

2M would be an incredible bargain.

Hmmmmmm y is he willing to come to NJ...............There are plenty of other teams our there that can afford him. I know because NO ONE WANTS HIM!!!!!!!

The KHL isn't paying their players anything. In fact, given the Cherepanov tragedy, I would be willing to bet that Jagr would pay money to get out of there.

Thats his own fault and I am not sorry for him at all...........He made that choice along with other players. Now he has to deal with it. I rather we say that 2mill for a D man we so need.

http://www.latinoreview.com/images/user/picard-facepalm.jpg

I voted no but, Im sorta on the fence still. I'd rather have him than Sundin but, I just can't see this happening. Sutter and Jagr that could be a bad mariage I think.

http://www.latinoreview.com/images/user/picard-facepalm.jpg

Whatever I am done defending myself just because I said no..............If I am homer just because I don't want Jagr so be it but I stand by the NO.

BrodeurRULES, you're such a pessimistic patty

Who cares? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. So what, someone doesn't agree with you....MOVE ON!

Hey, i respect whatever you have to say but it doesn't mean that i have to agree to your opinion also. It's not directed only towards you but the people in general that voted "no".

I know it's a rumor and there's about 99.9% that it'll never happen or come close to even happening but if Lou can get a player the caliber of Jagr, add a d-men with the departure of Gionta or whoever (because someone is gonna leave IF we add Jagr) and maybe get a couple of picks also... wouldn't that help out the team that you like so much ?!?!?

That's exactly my point. However, a lot of you on here aren't giving the people who voted no the respect that they deserve.

Just because I live for this team, doesn't mean doesn't mean I have to like it if he signs here. And it CERTAINLY doesn't mean that I have to say "yes" to a thread titled "would you want Jagr here".

It's all a matter of opinion. I don't want him here. I don't have to give you reasons why...that's my opinion.

Now, since you want D first.. Who would you like us to sign that's out there?

Imagine how much DJ Tiesto and Paul Van Dyk would be played on Zubrus' Ipod if Jagr were his linemate.

There is a battle between Techno/Rap/Hiphop and bad Rock/Country in the Devils locker room.


Seriously, Gionta/Langenbrunner/White/Pando should all be on Lou's warroom blackboard.

Jagr and Zubrus would rave all throughout the NJ Club Scene.

Man that is like a photoshop picture waiting to happen.

That's exactly my point. However, a lot of you on here aren't giving the people who voted no the respect that they deserve.

It's all a matter of opinion. I don't want him here. I don't have to give you reasons why...that's my opinion.

I respect your opinion... i just don't understand it. And if you can't tell me why you wouldn't welcome him to the Devils, then that makes your point or opinion worthless to me.

If your gonna back up a point you gotta make us understand your side ;)

Jagr and Zubrus would rave all throughout the NJ Club Scene.

Man that is like a photoshop picture waiting to happen.

Both would test positive for E and Cocaine. I hope they slip GHB in a Swedish Goalie Crantini while he's out on the town with his beard.

I put no...just because I don't like the guy. No other reason than that.

DATW, i think she already stated her reason.

I respect your opinion... i just don't understand it. And if you can't tell me why you wouldn't welcome him to the Devils, then that makes your point or opinion worthless to me.

I've never liked Jagr personally, and I actually stated that in my very first post here.

I've never seen what all the hoopla is and that's MY opinion. I'm not saying you have to agree with me, and I'm almost positive, you'll ALL disagree with me. To each his own.

I don't want him! I never have...I never will...and even if he wears a Devils jersey, I'll root for what he's wearing on the front, but NEVER the name on the back (I've done that quite a few times)!

Both would test positive for E and Cocaine. I hope they slip GHB in a Swedish Goalie Crantini while he's out on the town with his beard.

i wonder what they would do to Henrik after...

She just can't stand not being the prettiest one in the room and Jagr would be competition, pure and simple.

Hell yes.

Jagr becomes detrimental to a team when they become dependent on him for their offense, largely because he can be streaky. The Rangers were in large part dependent on Jagr for scoring - look at the drop-off from last year to this year. The Devils have enough forward depth that it could not become an issue - we're scoring well enough that the team wouldn't need Jagr by any means - and of course it's only one year which isn't enough time to get "addicted" to his presence.

I'd rather a top defenseman, but a hot Jagr plus a healthy Brodeur plus our offensive depth could be cup-worthy.

Watching puck control between Zubrus, Elias, and Jagr would be amazing.. Would just wonder when one would finally shoot

dont forget rolston too.

Haha oh my god

By the way, Jagr goes with Parise and Zajac. Both Parise and Zajac play their best games away from the puck - Parise loves to drive to the net but plays an awesome game getting open and into the right place to pounce, Zajac loves to cycle and get the puck back and holds it well, but he's not an ideal playmaker. Jagr would complement them really, really nice.

Elias and Jagr would have in large part the same problem that Jagr and Gomez and Elias and Gomez had - all these guys love to hold the puck.

Beats someone overhearing something at a concert or a faceless rumormonger who batting worse than Jim Abbott.

Playing overseas in a league of a secondary sport (Hockey, Basketball) in countries like Italy, Greece and Russia means more than likely unsavory characters are the owners of the teams. Foreigners have zero recourse.

Yeah, but can you imagine if one of Elias' phantom behind the back passes went to Jagr in the slot?

Call up Pascal Rheaume, he's the only guy we've had since Sykora who could pick up those passes for goals.

Elias and Jagr's exchange during the line after the playoff series and his kind words regarding Sutter and the Devils made me believe that he was leaving his door open if the Russian thing didn't work out.

It obviously wasn't an offer he couldn't refuse.

Eh, the last thing we needed was a war between the Lamoriello family and the Russian mob.

Makes you wonder if Lou made him an offer.

I wouldn't be suprised, but the offer he got from the KHL was obscene and made when oil was 150 a barrel and I'm sure that they budgeted the prices being higher at that time. I would be suprised if some like KGB Teddy was like take a hiiiiiiiiiiiiike, we don't liiike you.

What'd he say about us?:innocent:

He said something like how he was a fan of the Sutter system and how the Devils were a great organization during the playoff run. A far cry from his boasting in the 06-07 bloodbath.

Considering they have reenforcements in Brighton Beach and the Lamoriello family is spread thin across the Eastern Seaboard.

I don't think the contract was that obscene. It was just the years + "tax free" + the team paying your living expenses. There was alot of showing off in the media by the KHL, but I think the actual contracts that Radulov and Jagr signed were pretty reasonable.

On a year-to-year basis, a team like the Oilers might have offered him just as much money.

I've never liked Jagr personally, and I actually stated that in my very first post here.

It's because he's black, isn't it?

Wasn't like 7-7.5 a year?

Seven Million plus living expense plus tax free money is worth 11-14 million a year in the NHL.

Correct.

Money wasn't the issue for Jagr. At this point in his career it was either gonna be NYR or Omsk......the 2 places he felt most comfortable.

I remember it being more of a thanks but no thanks from the Rangers as they went in another direction from Shanahan/Jagr and got Naslund and others instead.

Besides, I hope the Devils get Jagr. Sather might just overpay for Pandolfo so he can shadow Jagr and keep Gomez company on cold Chelsea nights.

Just to shut that know it all rudy poo candy ass Jonathon up I hope we get it done.

View from an outsider:

If you welcomed Kevin Weekes, then I hope you'll welcome Jagr with open arms.

Rivalries now-a-days last only as long as their contract...

Duh! Of course! ;)

:scared::jump::hyper::vhappy:

It's Jagr! Of course I'd take him...OMG...lol it's JAGR!!!!!!

MAKE IT HAPPEN LOU!

Do you have a link for this? I can't remember seeing it anywhere.

For that price, no brainer.

Wow, I changed my pants twice reading this thread. :D

That would be an ideal situation, needing to make a trade to get JAGR in a Devils jersey. :hyper:

What number would he wear? Doesn't Lou have a thing with high numbers?

With established players like Jagr, he would be able to keep his number, same with Gilmour and Mogilny...

If he takes that discount, we'd be stupid not to.

Too much money, suffers from lack of work ethic too much, not really a need we have right now to begin with, not to mention cap issues.

I see no reason why this team really needs Jagr, we've proven to be capable of scoring, but we're anemic at defense and at the moment in goal. Bringing in Jagr isn't going to make either of those go away.

YESSSS! I Know we all dont like the guy, but turning down talent like Jagr is just really stupid. This guy can start the season in December and finish the season with more points than anyone on the Devils Roster. Put Jagr on the Zajac and Parise line, and he could help those 2 kids in ways we cant even imagine. If Lou does sign him, it would be one of the best trades hes made in a while.

I think its BS and isnt gonna happen..................but believe it or not, I heard Marty and Jagr are actually good friends.........so you never know, all you need is a dollar and a dream, oh wait wrong commercial !!!!!!!!!

i'm sorry, but anyone saying no to this needs to take off the homer glasses.

Jagr at 1.5 - 2 mil is a Black Friday deal, if on Black Friday stores were giving away $300 xbox 360's for 10 bucks....

the guy is a premiere talent (even though on the decline) and would instantly make the Devils a better team.

Excellent analogy. I know there is no truth to it whatsoever, but seriously, what would we have to lose? Getting him for that money allows us to trade Gionta+ for a dman exponentially making the team better.

Put Jagr on a line with Madden and Pando, they could follow him all over the ice, call it the congo line !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since there is no option for HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO, I just voted no. Someone said earlier that Jagr "wouldn't be the centerpiece of our team". Of course he would, and that's what we don't need. He can say all the right things about being a team player, but once he gets out there it'll be all about him. Quite a few Rangers fans I know were happy to see him go because he wouldn't mesh his game to the teammates that were brought in to help him. Does anybody really want to see that here? Go ahead and call me a homer for not wanting him, but I don't.

The best part about this stupid rumor is a bunch of people on the rumor board, pontificating about who someone they don't know, and have likely never, ever spoken to, is willing to play for.

And the other people begging for him to play for their team, as if he actually reads the boards and cares what they think.

I mean, the way it's going, tomorrow I'll probably read something like

You would have to be bonkers to turn Jagr down at 1.5-2 for one year.

Lou won't do it anyway he is smarter then that I hope...................I love how some of u complain u want to give certain players from Lowell a chance............YET u wants to take a roster spot away for Jagr? I rather see young up and coming player take that spot and a chance. Then to add yet another old player. (And again I am not doubting Jagr talent but it not the right thing to do here)



PLus I thought we needed a D man NOT another forward lol...............I want a D before even thinking about signing Jagr

Are you like, 13 years old? We're talking about Jaromir Jagr here. Possibly the greatest European player in the history of the game, who loves to play with his fellow Eastern Bloc brothers.

Yes, yes and triple ****ing yes.

Wow. I was certain this poll would result in 70-30 in favor of NO, but instead it's the other way around. I don't get you people. After all you've seen from that guy? :shakehead

Let me ask everyone this: If this rumor were true, that Jagr would be willing to sign with the Devils for about $2 million, do you think Lou would go for it?

ok first of all, YES. during the 2007-2008 playoffs, he was the best player in the world.

second of all, not a snowballs chance in hell that he would play on the devils, they would never sign him

When it becomes closer to an NHL09 trade probability than real life it's time to blow the whistle.

If we want to occupy our time while waiting yet another 5 days without a game, I suggest we fire up some chops for the photoshop thread which used to be the primary distraction thread.

No he wouldn't. The Rangers built their entire offense around Jagr, while he would be here to supplement the players we already have.

Marty will always be the centerpiece of our team. Marty knows it, Jagr knows it, and most importantly Lou knows it.

If he was slacking off at 7 mil, do you think he's gonna play harder at 1.5 mil?

What was pathetic though is that our top two lines couldn't even score on them.

Voted no. This team lives and dies with mediocre defense, sub-par finishing of scoring chances and all four checking lines grinding their hearts out. I ´d much rather watch Gio bombard goalie´s chest armour much rather than watch Jagr´s fancy, dandy slickness and dominance of the game :sarcasm:

But to take a brief serious thought of it: I´m not sure, if I wanted Jaromir Jagr on this team. One can´t argue his unique skill set or anything he´s accomplished on his career. And that´s not what the fortcoming few lines are about.

What would be his overall effect on this team? Jagr is one of those rare players that are undeniable centerpieces of hockey teams. Ours is Marty. How would Jagr adapt to this team. His personal skills alone will put him and his linemates too on the scoresheet, but the question is, how would his presence affect the locker room?

Sure, he would definitely have some positive affect just because who he is and how he´s been someone to look up and to find inspiration from especially for guys born in the 1980´s.

But, how would it alter the pecking order of this team and climate of the locker room in general? It is hard to think of Jagr as "just one of the guys doing his job". Will it end being a clash between strong personalities and someone yelling: hii tuk mai jaaabbbb

I´d welcome Jagr with open arms, if he wasn´t riding towards the sunset of his career. To have someone like him for an upcoming team would be a blessing. But just to have him for a quick stint isn´t really what I´d be looking for, especially now that this team wouldn´t be a certain contender even if Jagr, taken a huge discount in salary, was part of this team. With a slightly stronger defense (read: with a number one d-man) it would be another story.

But then again, if Jaromir Jagr somehow came here, anti-euro, lt. col. Sutter would probably hook him up with Rupp and Vrana into his doghouse and his atoi would be around 2-3 minutes per game :laugh:

Only if he grows the mullet back

Amazing how three days off after a loss seems so much longer than after a win.

As for Jagr, at $2 million, of course you take him. If he specifically wants to play for Jersey, does that suggest a grudge against certain personnel at the Rags?

Jagr could easily match Mogilny's impact (first time around!) and with the pressure of expectation reduced by the Devils' reputation and lower remuneration, be an outstanding performer. What a player of his ability and experience doesn't know about the game isn't worth considering; think Sergei Federov.

Looking at it from his perspective is intriguing. Maybe he feels his skills have eroded. He's seen at first hand what the Devs can do with less. He's always played in the "Atlantic" area teams. Pittsburgh would be a circus, the Rangers even more so, Philly are Philly, Washington has too much baggage. That leaves us and the Isles. If he does want back; maybe this destination isn't as far off base as it initially seems.

I give it a 2% possibility.:D

If Jagr was so great, why did the Caps pay half of his salary to dump him on the Rangers?

If he wants to play for us, and he's willing to sign for $2 million or under, I say, welcome to Jersey.

BIG if though.

Guess you don't really remember those games where Jagr murdered us.

Guess you don't really remember those games where Jagr murdered us.

Pandolfo does a very good job shutting down Jagr, last year he had a field day when Pandolfo was injured.

If Jagr was so great, why did the Caps pay half of his salary to dump him on the Rangers?

If half his salary had been $750,000, I think they may have kept him.

Jagr can't contribute enough on a team with no system and little talent (Washington in 2003) to be the highest paid player in the league. He could contribute enough on a team with a strong system and average talent to be worth second pair defenseman money, even 5 years later.

You mean those games where Madden or Pandolfo was injured?

Pandolfo does a very good job shutting down Jagr, last year he had a field day when Pandolfo was injured.

He didn't kill us in the playoffs last year?

Pandolfo was not the same after he came back from injury. He seemed to be slower and didn't click with Madden as well. If you noticed we started going downhill in the month of March even before the playoffs.

But it refutes your argument that Jagr is invisible when Pandolfo plays.

You mean those games where Madden or Pandolfo was injured?

So who will shut down Jagr if Pando and Jagr are on the same team?

and you want to trade Gionta. Why would you want Jagr then?

Because I'd rather have a guy who takes days off than years off. Duuuhhhh....

Because I'd rather have a guy who takes days off than years off. Duuuhhhh....

Yeah, but an unmotivated Jagr can still shadow Gio's point production

or eclipse, I don't know. My brains not working well today

If he really would accept that big of a discount then yes, I'm all for it. He's still an elite talent regardless of his age.

If we signed Jagr to that cheap, than i would beg for him to come here. However, after we sign Jagr I'd love to trade Gionta away for another offensive defenseman..maybe Bieksa or Ohlund?!

Madden has pretty good offensive skills. He's just partnered up with Stallonehands. Yeccchh. Seriously, Pando is like a vortex when it comes to offense. He could be paired with Crosby and Malkin and that entire line would probably wouldn't score more than 20 goals.
