Gaudreau - Bennett - Ferland
Tkachuk - Monahan - Jagr
Jankowski - Backlund - Frolik
Versteeg - Lazar - Brouwer
Stajan - Hamilton
1. Tries Gaudreau with Bennett, which to me sounds like a great combo, and would bring life to Bennett big time
2. That Monahan line would be a killer on the cycle
3. Gets Jankowski blooded playing with the two best possession drivers on the team
4. If Jankowski doesn't fit, you have veterans who can move up and send him to the AHL
I think it is a pipe dream, as Calgary is neither a cup front-runner nor a team with an easier travel schedule, which makes them less appealing to a veteran with no ties to the city/region

It probably is a longshot for him to land in CGY, but Jagr wasn't exactly chasing cups in NJ and FLA. He has however stated in an interview (a while back) that he would like to play in a Canadian city.
