Except that Jagr still had a CF% of 55% last year and had no help from his teammates. Yes, he's slower than he used to be, but not so much that he's a liability. Yes, he needs some line mates that can pick up the slack defensively, but he'll still do his share of the work. The guy is a freak of nature physically and keeps himself in great shape. He's got at least one more good year in him, but maybe as a 2nd liner. The guy has value, that's all I'm saying. I'm not even saying the flames are a fit, but some of the comments about him needed correction. I'm not even sure I want him on the flames, but he's still a very good player.
