That seems quite sensible to me.

You can't do that. That is an apparent jersey foul if he doesn't sign with us.

Similar to the guy at the Dome with a Flames Gretzky jersey.

Jersey foul though if Jagr doesn't sign with the Flames.

Saw someone put up numbers on how Jagr made everyone he played with better at FL. For the right price I wouldn't mind him for a year.

There are rumours stating Jagr is def not going to the KHL and is negotiations with "multiple NHL teams".

Jagr signs a 2 year deal and the retros come back in his second season?

At his age, I sure hope not. Would be OK with one, though.

But I can see the attraction of having a legit retro 68 jersey.

Yea I'd only want a one year deal too, but a Jagr retro would be so good.

Jagr is a workhorse and the youngsters can at the very least learn how to be a great pro.

I honestly think that he would be an asset to any PP ..at the right price and term..

No thanks on iggy..he's really slowed down and doesn't look as strong on his skates let alone fast.. i hope he takes the high road for nhl..retire or play khl.

Jagr's goal (I think) is to get to 2,000 points and he is 86 away, will need 2 years to do so.

If Jagr signs he's going on my blank retro. F the jersey code. New ones are ####.

You have to follow the jersey code though! It's like one of the travelling Jagr's, he has a blue eagle Capitals jersey, one that Jagr never wore. Jersey foul! I don't know what bothers me more though, jersey fouls or people who wear straight up fake/counterfeit jerseys (they are so easy to point out too).

Someone tweet this to jagr. Maybe it will persuade him to sign here.

In 14/15 Jagr was traded to the Panthers after 57 games with the Devils where he scored just 29 points. People said he was done then and he had one last desperate kick at the can. In the next 20 games down the stretch he scored 18 points when put with Huberdeau and Barkov. The line showed instant chemistry and Jagr looked like he was rejuvenated playing with the talented youngsters.

It wasn't a blip either, as Jagr went on next year to score 66 points in 79 games, just a little bit below the pace he established from the previous season.

Last season was an aberration as the entire Panthers team struggled and there was little in the way of focused team play. After Gallant was let go, there was little to no coaching or systems play. But the biggest thing was that Huberdeau was injured for the first 2/3rds of the season with a major achilles injury, and Barkov had two separate stints on the DL resulting in jut 61 games played. The line mates that Jagr had such success with were gone for large parts of the year.

Jagr still managed to produce 46 points while playing in ALL 82 games, similar to his production in New Jersey when that team was becoming a tire fire and he moved on to another team.

I would argue that Gaudreau is a better offensive player than Huberdeau, and it's pretty close between Barkov and Monahan (although I give the edge to Barkov when healthy). It is entirely possible that Jagr could find some chemistry with Gaudreau and Monahan similarly to the way he found chemistry with Barkov and Huberdeau. It would be a long shot, but I wouldn't rule out Jagr putting up 86 points with Gaudreau feeding him the puck if they caught fire.

tl/dr: Jagr has shown even recently that he can be near a point per game pace, and could even surpass it if he gets hot enough.

I just thought it was funny that you provided such an oddly specific number here. Would you rule out Jagr scoring 87 points?
