So Jagr has to stay healthy and help the Flames make the playoffs to earn his second million.
I like the way Treliving has approached this!

Powerplay Quarterback

Did we ever really figure out what was the most likely way he was getting here?
Direct from the Czech Republic, or a connector from somewhere?

Murray Edwards flies his jet to Kladno regional, then he flies direct to Calgary sipping on Cognac and smoking Romeo and Juliet's (or whatever snob ass cigar smokers think is a high end cigar).

So, just now listening to an outrageously dumb discussion on Vancouver's new sports station, Sportsnet 650.
It so happens that the Vancouver Canucks considered making an offer to Jaromir Jagr, GOAT, at the start of UFA in July. The radio hosts mused about whether Canucks fans would have preferred signing Jagr or signing Thomas Vanek. The consensus between the pair was that while Jagr provides a novelty to the franchise likely to result in higher ticket sales and jersey revenue, Vanek is ultimately the better acquisition because come time for the Trade deadline he is more likely to net a better return for the rebuilding Canucks. The assertion was that Vanek is a much better bet to be a contributing factor in the playoffs because Jagr is 45-years-old, and is slow.
As much as I am excited about tonight, I can hardly wait for the home opener on Saturday.

Still waiting for the horse and carriage to arrive. Rumor has it that the horse has not yet received its work visa.

I can’t sleep because I’m so excited for tomorrow. I sent a text to Jaromir Jagr asking if he was excited but he didn’t text me back.

#Flames GM Brad Treliving will meet with the media between 5 and 6 p.m. tonight. I suspect he'll have something to say about Jaromir Jagr.

Isn't that Rick Dhaliwal network?
I heard he works for Sportsnet 650 out of Vancouver and seems to break news from time to time.

Jagr receives bonuses at various thresholds up to 45 games. If he plays at least 50 and the #flames make playoffs, it tiggers another.

Jagr is 49 points away from passing Gretzky's assist totals, hope he can do it, would be the first player in NHL history! Also assuming he plays Saturday and doesn't miss another game he will pass Gordie Howe for most games played in the NHL on the road in Nashville on Feb 15th. Would love to see him do it the following Saturday Feb 17th at home against his old club Florida.
