Also depends on how this season goes for him. Can't be fun to train all off-season at that age and not have a contract until the day before the season starts. He's noticeably wishing he could've been in any sort of training camp.

Maybe be a week or two (after arriving) before he gets up to speed with both the game and the team.

Why does Booth have to clear waivers after signing with Detroit, but Jagr doesn't have to clear? And Jagr won't be on final roster submission.

Yes and no. He will be gassed out there no doubt but he has always used his big body to create space. So even out of game shape he can fit in till he is up to snuff. Natural talent and size and a smart player who is a plus possession guy. Great addition.

Just got the shipping notification from hockey authentics on my retro Jagr. Scheduled to be here on Wednesday in time for the season opener.

A little off topic but what is he doing looking at Albert's stiff frost??? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I hope the actual player comes with a shipping label, going to be an anxiety filled couple days until opening night.
"Your Jaromir Jagr is out for delivery!"
or intelcom
"We threw your Jagr at your front door"

Better timing than the actual Jagr.

I'm actually a bit suspicious they were able to stitch the name/numbers so fast. But I guess I'll find out in 48 hours. And post pictures. And wear it every day for a week afterwards.

I just wanted to repost this so people are reminded of the intangible value Jagr brings to the team. From Barkov after last season...
https://www.nhl.com/news/aleksander-...ng/c-290636678
"I would be lying if I say no because he helped me so much and probably I would never be in the same situation without him," Barkov said. "When he came in, I took my game to another level and for sure everybody else on the team did too. He just helped so much everybody on the team and is one of the most important guys in my career."
"I learned a lot, like playing differently in different situations and working out and living the life like a pro," Barkov said. "I was living the life like a pro [before Jagr joined the Panthers], but he took me to another level too, and to love the game a different way because nobody loves the game as much as he does. When you see him doing his own stuff, you take it from him and try to do the same thing and you see it helps you."
Barkov said Jagr's love of the game is infectious to his teammates.
"You see him and you think about how he has been in the League forever and he has almost every record in the League and he still loves the game and wants to get better," he said. "Not because of the records or anything like that. He just wants to play hockey and wants to help everybody on his team and wants to win. That's the biggest thing about him. He wanted to win in every situation when he was on the ice. And when you play with him you see that in his eyes and you try to do the same thing and it helps a lot."
Wednesday can't come soon enough!

Now that Jagr is on a new team, I wonder who the Travelling Jagrs will recruit into their fold? They have a Jagr for each team he's played on.

I think they should have 10 (or whatever the number is) Flames jerseys.

Treliving to Jagr: "If you sign with St.Louis you'll have to go to Edmonton twice in the middle of winter. Sign with us after Wednesday and you'll only have to go there once."
Jagr: "Ok, I sign with you guys!"
