time to put this drama to music! I want a suede fringe vest too

Good thing we have the CEC so Jagr won't die alive in the igloo

[darkstar57]

I would love to have Jagr back because even at his age, he is going to be a very good player, that will put up around 60-70 points. It would be interesting to see the line make up because I think he would work best on Malkin's wing, one of Malkins biggest problem is he tries to do to much himself, with Jagr, he wont have to do that, he could very quickly return to 2009 Malkin, with a healthy sid, will be very scary for many teams.

The second time around, it's more like the Living Dead.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun
Pierre LeBrun Jagr's agent Petr Svoboda this morning tells me it's down to 3 teams: Pittsburgh, Detroit and one other NHL team he doesn't want to name.

LeBrun on twitter.

Wonder who the unknown team is?

Seriously, seeing these clips, what golden days it was. The thing is, its always a pleasure watching Jagr play, still to this day even though he is not as quick anymore! He has a style of his own, there is no one like him!

[the wicked child]

Wow. That brings back some memories.

[PolarPenguin]

Rossi told the X morning show (Yea, I listen, don't hold it against me) that the Jagr situation was heating up and he would be on to talk about it but had a phone call with Petr Svoboda. ROSSI HAS THE INSIDE SCOOP!

Some concern for me is that Jagr's numbers last year compared to some other guys that we've seen in the NHL

Radulov: 80 Points
Morozov: 56 points
Jagr: 50 points

So......you're saying that....we should....sign Morozov!? Hell yes! Do it Shero!

Morozov-Malkin-Jagr.

Yes, that is what I was stating........... I'm saying that is one possible concern is his numbers compared to other former NHL'ers haven't been that great.

http://en.khl.ru/stat/leaders/167/pts/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; 2010 Hudler had 54 points, Jagr had 42. Hudler was pretty !@#$% for the RedWings this year. Hopefully Jagr's game transfers better to the NHL

No doubt Jagr would set the league on fire like last time.

But also remember Jagr went from 5 straight scoring champs to like 70-80 points with the Capitals.

With Jagr, if he really has set out to do something, he will do it!

So if he comes here, then he better be motivated, if he is, then I am not too worried.

I am more concerned about how much Malkin is producing Vs his salary to be honest

"I talked to Jaromir yesterday about Pittsburgh. He is a fan of the city and of the organization," Svoboda said. "I also spoke with (former Penguin) Robert Lang and he told me Mario Lemieux is trying to reach Jagr right now to talk."

I actually believe Rossi. He can't straight up lie and state his source / be completely lying or his job would be in jeopardy. My concern is this agent seems to be doing a TON of talking and no other sources but him. I believe Rossi is hearing all of this, but idk how trustworthy svoboda is (he could just be trying to hype up his client).

[darkstar57]

Here is a dumb question, do we have to wait until free agency begins to sign him, or can we sign him now

[IanMoran]

According to a poster on this board, no (I asked the same question). I'm inclined to believe him as well since these teams wouldn't be able to talk to him if he was a normal UFA until July 1 / multiple media sources stating he will make his decision soon.

Rossi doesn't have an exclusive. Dave Molinari writes:

Asked if he believes the Penguins are serious about trying to work out a deal with Jagr, Svoboda said. "I really believed it was serious when I made the phone call. We will know a lot more today."

I'd just love to hear something from someone besides his agent...

[Lesky]

Jagr wasted 3 years in Russia. It was a shame for both the NHL and himself!

He could have been top 5 all-time in goals and points quite easily.

As a big Jagr fan the day he signed with Omsk was TERRIBLE. He just threw away his legacy in the NHL.

Imagine if Jagr had played in the NHL until he was 43, what kind of career would that be?

When he left the NHL for russia he would have had 7-8 years left.

I am still pissed of by it, I really do not want to think about it.

Its like thinking about Lemieux career without the cancer, heart problems etc.

That's my understanding as well. A typical free agent is not permitted to speak with teams until July 1. But since Jagr is a non-NHL free agent, he became free to talk to teams once the KHL season concluded.

[PolarPenguin]

The Penguins can sign Jagr at anytime since he was with the KHL previously. The July 1st date is for all NHL players, but since Jagr wasn't an NHL player, he can be signed today, tomorrow, whenever.

Kind of an ethnocentric view.... maybe his years in the KHL (and the money he earned) weren't a waste to Jagr (maybe his life isn't defined on where he ends up on the all time NHL points list)
