Seems that Jagr is 6'3" and Mattsson is 6'4". They are about the same height, likely wear the same sized jersey. Rip off Mattsson's nameplate and replace it with Jagr. Simple! Lol

I guessed the Bennett signing for tomorrow with that theme in mind (93 days from the end of the Flames season).

Probably not happening now, but would be funny if it did.

Sock away a bit in the bank. See how the season goes. Can always add firepower at the deadline if opportunity arises.
Not when you don't have a 1st, 2nd, and possibly not 3rd round pick in the draft.

Because I feel like out of all the possible numbers they could've given Mattsson, they chose to give him 68. Either to debunk these rumors, or troll us as fans. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it makes me wonder why they would assign him that number if signing Jagr is a high possibility.

Adam Ollas Mattsson has worn 68 at development camp in each of the past three summers. It has nothing to do with Jaromir Jagr. #Flames

It's more of a slightly different translation, isn't it? It does confirm Calgary's interest and they both have the poker metaphor.

The first translation makes it seem like negotiations are ongoing and the poker metaphor was in the context of negotiations with the Flames.

The Edmonton Journal translation makes it sound like the Flames were interested at one point but nothing about if that continues. The context of the poker metaphor in that version was in relation to contract negotiations in general and not specifically the Flames.

Kind of big differences in the two versions.

I would bet that Treliving has told Jagr that the Flames are definitely interested in him if they can fit him in their cap space, which they won't know exactly until they get Bennett signed - and it seems like Jagr is willing to be patient as well.

Sure, why not? He was simply linking the comment instead of repeating himself in two formats.

Don't worry, both him and AOM are similar stature. He is just breaking in the number so the old guy doesn't have to do as much heavy lifting.

Jagr spoke generally, not specifically about negotiating with Flames.
It was an interview with the most popular Czech PBP guy Robert Zaruba on a national TV here in CR. Zaruba mentioned Calgary several times. It looks like something really is going on, but we will see.....
