Who is the best player not playing in the NHL? Temp-ban for anyone that says Crosby.

Crosby's old landlord Mario Lemieux

James Neal. He's playing in the World Championships, right?

[Ginger]

Indeed. Should I refuse work in Japan for what they did at Pearl Harbor?

Excellent comeback. His 'big bucks' amount to 10 mill American dollars annually & he has a 2 yr contract. Sid & Geno each make 9 mill now & they're just getting started really.

I'd forgotten how this board "rationalizes" everything...

There are a number of choice quotes, that can twisted in every direction.

Jagr is good for business; at least 10 more pages worth.

Shero, sign Jagr. If you don't, I will lose all faith in you!

[Admin]

DK on board.

[pittsports87]

DK on board.

Either your on board with signing him, or the Russian mafia is coming for you.

Jagr has to have more FA value than Satan did in 08 right? He signed for 3.5 mill... just saying I don't think all those "LEAGUE MINIMUM" ideas will work

They will work. Veteran minimum+incentives.

[IanMoran]

I REALLY don't see a scenario of Jagr signing for veteran minimum (even with incentive). Home town discount means the players take a little less, he's not going to go from 5 mill to 500 k in what might be his last contact

[pittsports87]

Oh but he will.

[Lesky]

There were many hockey executives there shaking their heads that he was wasting his time in Russia rather than adding to his points and legacy in the NHL.

Thats what I am talking about. Amazingly stupid to waste 3 years in Russia. But I can not imagine why Jagr now would comeback for 1 season only. It would seem more comfortable staying for a 4th year in Omsk.

He left to save his Dad's team and to make enough money to immediately eliminate all gambling debts. Not a waste of time at all. Now, yes, then, not so much.

Another inspirational text from Mario will get it done: "Come Home".

Do it.

I could be wrong, but I thought you couldn't do incentives in contracts anymore?

I am pretty sure there are still incentives for veteran players.
