He'll find a team as long as he lowers his asking price. $3-4 million is a bit much for a guy who is going to retire in the next 2-3 years. If Chicago was smart they'd offer him $1.5-$2 Million for a year to go with the chance at a Cup. Good leadership and he'd probably get around 55-60 points with better linemates. According to him he wants to play until he's fifty. I don't think winning a cup is high on his list although I'm sure he would love it, given his recent time in Florida. He's still a monster once he's got the puck, nobody can get it back once he sticks his ox size but out, would immediately be our biggest forward and let's face it, we have even less size now there after day one of free agency. Sign him to one year at 3 mill. Maybe on our top line his sick hands and finish will bring back the hey day of Sedinery cycling. More tickets would sell and even at his age he's still a solid second liner, with some upside given he keeps in ridiculous shapes with ridiculous endless workouts. Gordie Howe would be proud.

I hope they don't stick him on the Sedins lines, they deserve better linemates...in fact I hope they move Gagne to the wing and play him on the top line. If Jagr was signed he could play on Horvats line. Would be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree, Horvat would be all by himself at the net while Jagr is still at centre ice. Jagr is way too slow to play with Horvat, the game is now about speed and skill. Jagr has no speed.

WestCoastDave Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I was there at the 1990 Draft, Vancouver. I thought the Nucks should have drafted Jagr, but there was a concern about Europeans coming overseas at that time so tlhey picked Nedved instead. Signing him wouldn't be a bad idea because we could say we finally got the best player from that draft and heal old wounds at missing at 2. He could still contribute and would be a good mentor for our younger players and we could always trade him away at next year's TDL to get back assets if need be. Also, he could help sell tickets and our offence. As long as he doesn't cost too much to sign, it is a possible option for management to consider.

I don't agree, Horvat would be all by himself at the net while Jagr is still at centre ice. Jagr is way too slow to play with Horvat, the game is now about speed and skill. Jagr has no speed. It's only for one year. If Goldobin earns a spot than of course he should be there but not on the first line. Jagrs faster then the twins I don't think your giving him enough credit. Jagr > than Goldobin and instantly would be at least on par with the Sedins skill wise. There's absolutely nothing wrong with letting the fringe guys develop another year in Utica, including Dahlen, Virtanen and Juolevi if he qualifies. Benning served notice that nobody is gauranteed a spot. When guys get injured and the young guys come up to replace them, if they do a better job than Benning can arrange a trade to get them their shot. Personally I'd rather not see another Megns, Chaput arrangement, the Sedins deserve respect and proven linemates. If for some miracle a young guy gets some time and goes all Burrows prime or Carter on them, then great. But recycling fringe unknowns in hope of that is getting tiresome.

rawkdrummer Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 quote from NHL.com "Jaromir Jagr still is waiting for his phone to ring. The No. 2 scorer in NHL history remains available after the first day of free agency Saturday, two days after he posted a humorous tweet that included a photo of himself on the phone, saying he had not yet received any calls from NHL teams and was trying to call them." seems 'bout right, don't want him here unless he's on the other team. posters here don't agree with me but I can tell JB and TL do.

It's just a hypothetical. Jagr won't sign here, but the idea is fun...put him on the first line and the combined age would be close to 120...might be a record? His tweet was typical Jagr, all in jest. As the UFA season continues , eventually he will be the best option for a couple teams and get his next one year deal. PIT would be fun, but then the traveling Jagrs can wear a home and away jersey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmm Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 On 6/29/2017 at 8:18 PM, canuktravella said: i say pay him 2 mill per for 2 yrs hes a guaranteed 40-60 points can be a leader and teach virtanen, horvat, juolevi, gaunce, boeser how to pro champs and id just like seeing what he could do on a line with sedins we have tons of cap space why not take a gamble see what jagr has left in the tank im betting its more than the sedins do have you seen how jacked that guy is what a machine yes and no. I think Jagr would be great, like he was in Fla, however the Canucks have veteran leadership in the Sedins and adding Jagr would muddy those waters. I don't think you bring in Jagr to play with the Sedins and I don't think you bring him in to "outplay" the Sedins. You run the risk of another Eriksson situation or another Kesler situation.

This is a playoff team when configured this way if goaltending holds and defensive statistics are mid-pack. Sedin/Jagr line would be a passing and IQ nightmare for opposing teams. On first line Bo and Bear come at you hard, Erikkson has the tools, pedigree and is under contract for 5 years and will be back being pesky with a nose for the net this season after off-year of adjustment and injury last year. Second line kid line oozes potential, speed and sharp shooters. Playoff style fourth line in todays NHL with creativity, drive and some finish.
