I wonder if the delay in making it official has to do with being creative with the roster limit deadline? Not having Jagr official delays cutting one more player until he is official. Maybe the Flames’ plan is to waive another player to fit Jagr in, but it didn’t get done today, and they have to get under the roster limit by tomorrow afternoon.

I.e. The Flames want to sign Glass, and keep Jankowski up, but can’t do both AND sign Jagr before someone else is waived and sent down.
