The other benefit of the Jagr signing is the culture impact he will have in the room. Jagr is known as being very committed to his craft and expecting the same from his teammates. Cant help but benefit guys like Bennett, Tkachuk, Jankowski etc.
Some Jagr quotes:
Quote:
“When I came into the league with Pittsburgh, I liked to work out, but I didn’t know how to work out,” he told the Daily News. “Paul Coffey told me, ‘You’re going to do everything I do.’
“You should have seen those crazy bastards working after games and practices. It was sick how they worked. (Ulf) Samuelsson, Kevin Stevens, Rick Tocchet, Coffey. They were all insane.”

“Most people think when you are tired, you take a rest,” Jagr told the paper. “Coffey was the one who taught me, when you’re tired, that’s when you’ve got to work harder. Since your body is tired, you aren’t used to that. You’ll raise the level and next time your body won’t be tired.”
