What evidence do we have that supports this?
And just last season Jagr was possession boosting a youngster named Sasha Barkov who is head as shoulders above a player like Sam Bennett offensively and defensively. He did for Barkov what Versteeg & Brouwer have proven they couldn't do for Bennett. We would be very lucky to have to "saddle" Bennett with Jagr. It would do wonders for his development.
