I'm sorry but when you are a veteran near the end of your carreer, don't have a lot, if any, suitors then they should be signing PTO's. At most league minimum salaries with bonuses. They are the ones that need to prove they can still play. Management is not going to cut you if you deserve to be on the team.

The guy can still play though, that's proven. And I don't see what is exactly wrong with wanting a big piece of the marketing pie which is a big reason why you're paying him to come play for your team anyway. I'd love to know what the sales spike is on Jerseys when Jagr signs. He's iconic.if he wants a million more than he deserves, I'm all for it.
