More on the Jagr story - nothing to see here according to Jim Matheson - LOL.

But, the fact that Calgary seems interested might not be enough. I had a chance to sit down one-on-one with The Edmonton Journal’s Jim Matheson, and he believes Jagr is being particular about where he plays. Matheson was surprised the Montreal Canadiens haven’t made a pitch and he believes if they did, it might be a match. He also believes Jagr doesn’t want to come out west and that rules out Anaheim, Calgary and Edmonton. In fact, Matheson has it on good authority the Edmonton Oilers aren’t interested in the sure-fire Hall of Famer.

Chiarelli has seen first hand what Jagr offers having worked with him in Boston. The belief is Jagr is too slow for an Oilers team that wants to play a speedy game and too often Jagr drops the pace of the game to play his style. Chiarelli feels Jagr’s game is not suited for the Oilers.
