[Signing] Flames agree to terms with Jaromir "the GOAT" Jagr (1yr, $1 mil + $1 mil bonuses)

I'll get a Jagr jersey once this is confirmed

[Monahan For Mayor]

Would be pretty awesome to see all the fans wearing the Jagr Mullet wig opening night.

Their reduced travel bills could be Jagr's bonus money.

When will this be confirmed!?

Jersey sale alone make this so worth the Flames time. But hot dang if Jagr can do for Bennett what he did for Barkov, HUGE win.

It’s a short term solution to a long term problem but better than the alternative. We just have to hope his game doesn’t fall off a cliff as it could happen at any time at his age.

Why wouldn't you prefer a good Brouwer over a bad one who gets sent down? He's not getting demoted right now - everyone is just getting moved down a step, which probably means Lazar sits upstairs and there's no Glass/Hathaway/Hamilton.

Im guessing before noon. after practice. plus I think they gotta do the waivers thing today to get the roster cut down too.

[csnarpy]

They should definitely have a Jagr Mullet night in the dog days of Jan or Feb to spice things up.

[StrykerSteve]

No f’ing way! Awesome if true.

[Johnny Makarov]

The Flames can probably finance the new arena on their own now with Jagr jersey sales.

Jagr is done to CAL. $1M+$1M in bonuses. I think it might not be announced until he gets to the city, but there is a commitment.

Even better.....Imagine mullet wigs instead of thunder sticks for playoff giveaways!!

20 000 mulletted flames fans would be AWESOME.

[Textcritic]

Haha! I'm listening to the radio and they just said that Jagr was drafted the same year as Matt Tkachuk's dad.

Best news of the year

Yet.

By most accounts, Poirier has looked great in practice and looked real good down in Stockton. Needs more time and seasoning, but there is still reason for optimism.

Also, while Foo isn't ready, he is showing promise as well. There are going to be options, going forward.

Jagr is a perfect fit to fill the gap until someone steps up. Just as Smith was a perfect gap-fill in net.

[Samuelsson]

Done!
