You obviously don't know that Shero's LGP username is Lesky, do you?

Jaromir Jagr is no closer to signing with the Pittsburgh Penguins than he was when we all woke up on Thursday morning. He's no closer to signing with the Detroit Red Wings, either. Really, he's not much closer to anything, except the irritability of the people that have to deal with the ongoing story.

No offense my friend, but you might as well quote a bleacher report.
But is is about the most acurate statement made sinse this whole thing started.

None of this is getting in the way of Shero doing anything...that all changes come 12:00 tomorrow though...

Exactly, which is why Shero has to be over it by 11:59, which I'm confident he will be if he's not already.

That would be neat. Jagr looked like he could lose some weight. At least we would know the location of Jagr as well!

The Jaromir Jagr saga has a pretty good chance of stretching into Friday.

Penguins general manager Ray Shero said early this evening that, while he did not rule out Jagr selecting a team this evening, it might not happen until morning.

Or later.

He added that agent Petr Svoboda told him in later afternoon that "Pittsburgh is still very much in the picture" for Jagr.

The Penguins have offered Jagr a one-year contract.

He is believed to have received proposals from Montreal and Detroit, and perhaps a few other clubs

Finally... something from a reputable source. I guess Shero hasn't taken his proverbial ball and going home.

I walk away for a few, then come back to 30 new tweets on twitter. Got my hopes up, then realized it was only Christian Ehrhoff signing a contract.

TIOPS said Shero talked to Svoboda at 5pm, not much of an update, but at least we know we're still talking. Hopefully Shero is willing to up the offer to around or slightly less than what Detroit is offering.

Post Gazette says the offer won't change from us.

Not going to lie, I was "rooting for the story" as Savaran said in regards to the melodrama that would be a jagr return.

Not going to lie again. I think I've changed my mind. I want to hear that Shero hung up the phone on Svboda and refused to accept the numerous phone calls that followed, went in to free agency and signed someone else.

He talkes his ball and goes in another direction at 11:59 AM tomorrow.

This site needs its own Jagr forum.
