Jagr????

Edmonton’s without their leading scorer (Hemsky) most of the year, without their #1 goaltender (Khabi) and will be adding either Seguin or Hall to their squad. Depending on what value they get for their trade pieces (Moreau, Cogliano, Souray, etc…), they could turn their team around in a hurry. Renney is also there, so there is some familiarity. And of course, plenty of rumors that he would end up there both before and after he went to the KHL.

Now, I’m not going to pretend they’ll be cup contenders, so if that’s his lone goal then no, he doesn’t go there. But the strongest NHL teams don’t have the cap room (Was, SJ, Chi, Pitt), so it would have to be a next tier team if he wants a chance.

 So maybe the Kings?

that was a rumor that was shot down a while ago, the one where he said he’d be willing to play for minimum? Jagr hated it in Pittsburgh. Infact, he requested a trade out of Pitt and its unsure if they’ll even retire his #

I hear the Jagr rumors all the time. Last year he said in an interview (this is a year ago and take this with a grain or several grains of salt) that if he came back, he would want to play mostly with Pittsburgh or NY…he mentioned how much he respected Lemiuex, how much Mario did for his career, and how good Pittsburgh is. I believe he still owns a house here, but who knows what he’ll do. All I know is that if he still has considerable talent and he goes to Pittsburgh for a few years, they’ll be even more deadly.
