I've been lukewarm on the idea of signing an older player like Jagr, Doan or Iginla. I just prefer to see young players be given a shot.
That said, if they do sign Jagr, and young player can't outplay him, then I don't want them on the roster. So go ahead, sign him and let the chips fall where they may. There can be no open spots on this team, if a guy comes into camp and dominates, is the best player on the ice, the team will make room. If that means burying someone on a one way deal making substantial cash, who cares.
Ice the best possible team, if that includes Jagr, let's do it.
