Anyhow, I'd daresay Calgary is one of the best, if not the best Canadian hockey markets for him to try. Our team has a great identity and work ethic, our fanbase is intelligent and patient with the rebuild underway, there's a top six RW spot to fill since Stemp is gone - it's a pressure-free situation market wise unlike the unmitigated disasters that are Vancouver, Edmonton, and Toronto.

Ottawa and Winnipeg are mostly floating in no-man's land and only Montreal seems to be the other viable option. Screw Montreal and their fanbase though, so there.

We also have the cap space to throw money at him. I'd offer him a 1-2 year "let's see how this goes" deal at a fairly ludicrous price, can always flip him to a contender at half price for assets if he doesn't feel like staying.

Would buy a Jagr jersey if this happened. Because Jagr.
