I honestly have no clue as to how you arrived at this conclusion. Is this really how you see what's happening here? Find another thread. Or better yet, go outside and do literally anything else.

WTF people?

Of course the poll ignores the (seemingly vitriolic irrational) segment of the population that has no interest in signing any of then listed players. The point of the poll is not to determine the best outcome for the Flames. It is rather simply to gauge which addition would be most popular. I think you are taking this far too seriously.

Haha, what? People are jumping up the asses of people who express a "none of the above" opinion and I'm taking this too seriously?

I honestly could care less, unless and until we actually sign one of these pieces of petrified driftwood.

The thing I like about Jagr is that he can still play and his hockey sense is un-paralleled.

Iggy/Doan I feel like those guys were never cerebral or beat you with hockey sense. They beat you because of physical skills, talent, and sheer determination to win.

Old man Jagr is different, he is still really skilled but since his feet can't keep up he needs to beat you with his brain and he does. Which I think that it's a good learning experience for the younger guys to see that first hand.

If he couldn't produce anymore then I would say to stay far away but from all metrics (regular stats, advanced stats, etc) it shows that he can still perform even without the best foot speed.

OP, can we get a "Jagr's Ass" option added to the poll?

Being off topic, when a topic is explicitly provided, is generally considered rude behavior. If I asked a group of people what their favorite ice cream flavor is, and you burst in only to shout "I HATE ICE CREAM", I think the people gathered to discuss ice cream would be equally disconcerted.

If you could care less, then please do. Participation is explicitly optional.

Get ready for the classic "I accidentally voted for the wrong option"

Pro tip: No one ever believes you when you say that. You just are backing out of an unpopular opinion.

I need to know why we are signing one though. For top line duties? To mentor Bennett? For glorious hair shampoo commercials?

Iginla is a sniper and not a playmaker anymore. He could play top line and score. Jagr is a playmaker, but he's also awesome at controlling the puck down low. Maybe he's better suited to play with Bennett? Do we need a player like Jagr for top line rw? I doubt it.

Doan sucks, he's not even worth pert plus

Ugh. I can't vote when I want none of the above. Lesser evil of all 3? I can't even decide that.

This may be the first poll ever that I can't vote on.
