Well I explained how most of our complimentary players are on RW while our pure skill guys are on LW and C. Doesn't mean our lineup is weak. Sure if you look at RW in isolation it doesn't look like a contender but when you look at the lines as a whole you see how the RWers nicely compliment the game breaking skill we have at LW and C.
Jagr is a risk. Pretty much nobody plays at his age. The risk is his game drops off at any time. The points were there last year but clearly the scouts and GMS have seen something or a lack of something in his game or he would've received more interest thus far. Especially with a new team coming into the league this year and the dispersal of talent that happened because of it.
I'd take Jagr out of all the mediocre suggestions I've seen. I just don't think he fills a huge need at all. You can make a strong lineup up front with the players we already have.
