That being said, there are numerous sources, that Blues only got interested after Fabbri went out for the season and their interest in Jagr was reportedly just "exploring all options". There was never any interest reported from other teams, quite contrary there were several quotes that Jagr wasn't getting much interest at all, reaffirmed by him being unsigned into October.

Nah, jagr chose Calgary because he wanted to play for a contender! one last shot at a cup! It wasn't because they had a ready-made roster spot for him in the top 9.
Also of note, there is no way the Flames having a ready made top 9 roster spot for a 45 year old guy is an indictment of the quality or depth of the roster.
If only GG had used Jagr effectively!
