The Flames weren't interested in Jagr in the summer either, Pointman, so that's not an argument in your favour. Also, the Blues' interest was far more than just "exploring all options". They
offered Jagr a contract. Which he rejected in favour of Calgary. The point is: argue that Jagr didn't work. That's true. Argue that other low-end signings haven't worked. That's true. But don't manufacture claims that are patently untrue. It only undermines your arguments.
