It has been proven that his linemates did better WITH him than without him. How does that make him useless? Seems to be the opposite of useless, no?
Also, what distraction? I can see the arguments for not bringing back Iginla because it would be a distraction (though I disagree with that assessment, but I can understand the reasoning there). I just don't see how Jagr could be a distraction to a team. By all accounts, he is great on and off the ice, and is one of the NHL's most conditioned athletes. The youth on this team seeing him (or Iginla) manage their fitness would be a pro, not a con in my mind.
