And another story from The Hockey News

Jagr, one will recall, played for Gulutzan back during the 2012-13 season when the current Flames coach was the bench boss of the Dallas Stars. Jagr, then 40, had signed with the Stars ahead of the lockout-shortened campaign and spent 34 games in Dallas before being dealt to the Boston Bruins for a package that included Lane MacDermid, Cody Payne and a 2013 first-round selection, which was used to selection Jason Dickinson. During his short stay with the Stars, Jagr was fairly productive, positing 14 goals and 26 points while averaging 18-plus minutes per night.

Per NHL.com, when asked about Jagr earlier this past season, Gulutzan praised Jagr’s strength and hockey IQ. "We clipped some clips, I remember back in Dallas, that we sat and watched as a coaching staff going, 'Oh my God, how did he even do that?’ ” Gulutzan said, according to NHL.com.

Worth noting is that if Jagr were to land back with Gulutzan and head to Calgary, he may not assume a top-six role. Over the past two seasons, Jagr had been a fixture on the top two lines in Florida, but Calgary’s forward group is deeper with less opportunity for the veteran to crack the top two lines on the wing. He could, however, fit perfectly in a third-line role alongside Kris Versteeg and Sam Bennett.

The one area Jagr would absolutely get a look in Calgary, regardless of where he fits into the forward group, would be the power play. Jagr has managed 13 goals and 24 points on the power play, the 100th-best mark among all forwards in the league, over the past two seasons. Calgary’s power play with Jagr could be lethal. Already the 10th-best unit last season, it could crack the top five if it were to add even more scoring punch.

The fit being there for Jagr, however, could come down to how much interest the Flames have and at what price. Still without a deal in place for Sam Bennett, which is a contract that could cost Calgary a few million, the Flames have $7.17 million in cap space, and any deal for Jagr could chew up at least a couple million, if not more.
