Sharp and Williams are gone. Marleau isn't coming here. Look up the top 30 remaining UFA wingers. Unless we want to commit big dollars and term to Radulov, which we don't, there's nobody remotely worthy of consideration.
Why Jagr? Because he had 46 points as a 45 year old. Because he plays RW. Because he's still a huge man with a huge reach who knows how to protect the puck. Because he'd be cheap, and he'd be on a one year term. Because he'd fit like a glove with Johnny and Sean, and finally, because I want a goddamn #68 in my closet.
