There is a substantial difference between forming opinions about how good or bad individual players are, or how well or poorly Jagr might fit into the Flames' plans this season than there is of adjudicating on their thoughts and motivations. I think it is fair to say that one might be concerned about how motivated Jagr is based on the fact that he is already 45-years-old, has already won Stanley Cups and appears to be chasing Gordie Howe's record—others have expressed as much without attempting to read minds. But by the same token Jagr's competitive nature and longevity also seem to suggest that he is concerned with his own legacy and would not wish to taint that by mailing in the last years of his incredible career.
