Are the Flames an aspiring contender? Yes
Does Jagr make the Flames better? Yes

Jagr may be losing pace by the minute, but he still has incredible puck protection ability, and his 10-foot puck distribution game is top notch which would mesh well with Gaudreau and Monahan in the offensive zone.

Absolute no-brainer if the term and dollars are agreeable, once Bennett has been locked up. But, it would require Brouwer and Lazar getting fewer minutes which could be a tough pill for the GM to swallow, especially in Brouwer's case.
