There were a few games where his line cycled the puck in the offensive zone like it's nobody's business which is vintage Jagr. He got his season derailed by a nagging injury. That's just tough luck, because I think he could have made a difference playing the way he was. No matter how this ends it has been great having Jagr in Flames colors.

He has been a non-factor or liability in the defensive zone. Struggles to keep up with the back-check.
