5. Jaromir Jagr’s Calgary bonuses involve games-played thresholds, with one minor exception. There is a two-parter that is not triggered unless Calgary makes the playoffs. I’m not 100 per cent certain as I write this, but he needs either 50 or 60 appearances (plus the post-season) to get that one. There are no statistical bonuses.
6. One Western Conference GM said Jagr ending up in the Pacific Division was a perfect fit because “its best teams aren’t that fast. It’s different than the rest of the league, more of a grind than a speed game. Even Edmonton, outside of McDavid, is not a fast team.” Would not be surprised to see Jagr start the season with Sam Bennett, hoping some of the future Hall of Famer’s karma rubs off on the young centre.
