The Flames contention window is open right now and Jagr is a bonafide legend who is still a valuable NHL player. To me... that's worth it. It's entirely fair to not have that opinion but it's where I'm at. My head thinks that he'd be a valuable contributor and the heart wants what the heart wants.

I totally understand your line of reasoning/emotion. And its similar to how I feel about Iginla. We are fans after all, and it is more of an emotional connection than a rational one.
The contention window will be even wider next year (hopefully) so the idea of stealing from next year to help this year gives me pause.
