Thoughts? Think it would end up as a Jagr type run? I love Pavs so I would love to see him back.

Would he have to come back with the Coyotes?

I'd love to have him on the Flames, maybe as a fourth line center with spot duties on the first or second power play unit. Think same role Igor Larionov had with the Wings at the end of his career.

Just the cynic in me, but feels like this is just the agent trying to gain leverage on a KHL contract.

Isn't his body broken down and is basically a peach these days?

Since he has already played in the KHL this season, would he have to pass through waivers if he is traded to any team?

Would be a great addition to the Coyotes with Schmaltz done for the season. Might be enough to sneak into the playoffs.

He was pretty much a point per game player in the KHL last year. This year he's 34 points in 44 games. So it's not totally crazy that he could still manage, though clearly he wouldn't be his old self at 40 years old.
