Pavel Burrows Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/07/19/jersey-bound-jagr-reportedly-inspects-prudential-center/ According to Czech news outlet iSport.cz, free agent forward Jaromir Jagr was reportedly in New Jersey this week to “personally inspect” the Prudential Center, the Newark-based arena the Devils call home. Here’s a Google translation of the iSport article: It seems that the denouement near future Jaromir Jagr may have, as we reported yesterday iSport.cz server, the name of the New Jersey Devils. It is to this club aimed clues and resources daily Sport. According to one of them yesterday Czech veteran was actually personally inspect Prudential Center, the home club hall in which it operates and other Czech icon – Patrik Elias. The agreement could occur in the next few hours or days. Jaromir Jagr, New Jersey Devils. Perhaps over time this connection will actually be a reality. The fact that he was yesterday inspect star striker hall in which the club plays on Twitter speculated yesterday. Someone striker spotted as in the bowels passes accompanied by Lou Lamoriello, general manager. The move to New Jersey would make sense on a number of fronts. One, the club could use a skill winger with some star power after Ilya Kovalchuk’s shock retirement. Two, New Jersey has nearly $10 million in available cap space, more than enough to make Jagr a healthy offer (the 41-year-old made $3.3 million deal in Philly in 2011-12 and $4.5 million last year in Dallas and Boston.) Three, there’s a certain comfort level for Jagr in Jersey. The Devils have fellow Czechs Patrik Elias and Marek Zidlicky on the active roster and recently signed another Czech, Rostislav Olesz, to a one-year deal. New Jersey also signed Jagr’s former Stars teammate, Michael Ryder, earlier this summer. Kolvachuk replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Jagr may have had a few probs back in the 40's & 50's. Teams kept you in a cage until you went fully grey, & could dream about a pension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Not sure if valid or not, but here: @KohyCZ: Last Jagr info from New Jersey: "I am gonna sign it!" It seems complete. #nhl #jagr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
