We're better than that. Stop it with this kind of crap. Jagr didn't work out. Fine. We're moving on. Wish him the best and thank him for the work he did with Bennett, Tkachuk and Jankowski while he was here.
Doesn't mean you cant say the truth. He did come to the team out of shape. Being truthful isn't ripping on the player or his legacy. Not like the team is putting out a press release saying he was old and out of shape.
