I know you posted this to help your own case, but Jagr scores from everywhere but the blue line in that video. Shorthanded, off the rush, snipes from the slot, garbage collection, it's the perfect video to showcase what he actually brings.
The eye-hand is still there. The size and reach are there. The hands are very much still there. The shot is there.
We're talking about signing a player to be the #3RW at best, with Power play duty. And for the ~$3-3.5M it will cost, that doesn't seem to be the worst idea.
Tkachuk-Backlund-Jagr
Gio-Dougie
Backlund gets the puck, Jagr and Tkachuk take turns getting to the front of the net, Gio and Dougie take turns unloading from the point. Our 2nd unit could be as deadly as the 1st.
TLDR: Sign Jagr
