Would it though? Jagr's teams have made the playoffs in 2 of the last 7 seasons, and one of those, he was a deadline acquisition for a team that won the cup the previous year. He's been a Panther for 3 seasons and that team seems to be going backward, despite having a number of promising young players.

Not saying it's entirely his fault, it obviously isn't, but where is the proof that he has any great positive effect on the teams he's on?
