I would personally love to have a year of Jagr - still one of my favorite players.
I do, however, think that he wants to stay in NJ. He made it clear that he prefers to stay there than get traded to a contender at this past deadline. Seems to have found a good home there I think.
Still, you never know - with the rumors that Jagr 'needs' money, one can never be so sure. It does appear NJ is at least his first choice, but I am also sure he would like the experience of playing in a Canadian market (though apparently, the Habs were his first choice in that regard, but doubtful that they would fit him in with their current lineup and direction - at least probably not for a whole season).
Back to Cammalleri - I guess few are surprised that it seems Cammalleri is headed for free agency. It would be in his best interest to find term and at least a team further ahead towards being a competitor. He had a relatively poor season for the most part, but has caught fire of late. Having his injury history in the last couple of years probably just further solidifies his decision to get both term and the right environment for himself.
