The thing I like about Jagr is that he can still play and his hockey sense is un-paralleled.

Iggy/Doan I feel like those guys were never cerebral or beat you with hockey sense. They beat you because of physical skills, talent, and sheer determination to win.

Old man Jagr is different, he is still really skilled but since his feet can't keep up he needs to beat you with his brain and he does. Which I think that it's a good learning experience for the younger guys to see that first hand.

If he couldn't produce anymore then I would say to stay far away but from all metrics (regular stats, advanced stats, etc) it shows that he can still perform even without the best foot speed.
