Jagr Watch 2017

[winger]

I was doing errands in the real world for two hours. I come back 15 pages later, and nothing has changed.

The thing that strikes me about my real world is that nobody here even knows who JJ is and yet I am consumed with it and it is so delightful.

Wait, three-year deal?

Talking about Kennedy, not Jagr.

[Gaucho]

Wait, three-year deal?

Wut?

“He could really push the envelope here if he wants, but he’s made it clear this is where he really wants to play,” Shero said. “Hopefully we can find something by tomorrow, whether it’s a one-, two- or three-year deal that makes sense."

Wait, three-year deal?

Wut?

Not in this city...

[Lesky]

Shero said he is hoping that Jagr has “meant what he’s said by wanting to do right by Mario (Lemieux).”

That statement right there is like when Michael brought Frank Pentangeli's brother over from Sicily. I love the subtle intimidation of it.

Its pretty hilarious yes. The question is? Does it make Jagr feel guilty and increase or chances our does Jagr think "WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY SHERO SPEAKING OF MY AND MARIOS BUSINESS"? I think the chance is bigger that it rubs Jagr the wrong way and I believe Jagr already feels Shero does not want him that much.

so who does Shero bring in for the intimidation?

Oh, geez, I completely missed that one crucial sentence.

That was about Tyler Kennedy?

Yeah. This is the line above the quoted section. "Shero said discussions for Kennedy’s camp on a new deal were down to “short strokes.”"

reading rossi's little "blogger info" thing on the right side makes him seem absolutely pathetic.

Yep, my bad.

The longer I go without an update from Shero, the more skeptical I become. It's encouraging that he still believes he can sign Jagr.

Shero quote:

“Petr thought the decision would be made by Wednesday; I never put a deadline on it,” Shero said. “I said that certainly us, and probably a lot of other teams, would want to know by the start of free agency – that I’d like to have an idea of what’s going on.”

Hopefully this shuts up all the people that been claiming how Jagr is first class prick and dirtbag for not even respecting the deadline Shero gave him! He brought an incredible amount of Jagr hate out of the people! I am actually convinced Shero brought it up to cut Jagr some slack.

So it was pleasing that Shero adressed it. But why was Rossi running with the "deadline" story like a madman?

Did Jagr actually say that exact phrase or do you think its "summary" of what Jagr has said of Mario? I am shocked that not more people are commenting on this particular sentecne, its very vital and puts it all on the line.

If you add Lesky to your foe list, this thread drops down to 7 pages

He's single ladies!

[Corvidae]

No, but I have a multitude of other reasons for doing that.

I'm hoping Jagr to MTL. That would be the most hilarious possible outcome (and best for the Pens). This thread sucks.

Shero was quoted as saying that yesterday was "decision day" for Jagr. I guess some of us took that to mean "deadline."

I'm off to the gym then maybe I'll stop for a couple cold ones, this thread has added about 65 pages since I first checked around 7:15 this morning. I wonder where it'll be when I get back later tonight

[Lesky]

Doug: After the insanity of yesterday, what would you say are the chances of Jagr signing with the Penguins? Better than 70 percent, or worse? And have you ever covered anything more bizarre than that?

Dejan Kovacevic: Actually, Doug, the truly odd thing about yesterday, if you really look at it, is that nothing happened. Jaromir Jagr got on a plane and arrived in the U.S. late. Everything else was just the fuss over not knowing.

Yes, I think Jagr will sign with the Penguins. There are way too many people who feel that way for me to feel otherwise. That's why we reported the story as we did this morning.

sms: is this mystery with jagr a sign of things to come....

Dejan Kovacevic: Again, the guy's plane was late. Could have been a missed connection. Could have been the turtles at JFK. All the angst and drama was on our end, not his.

I'm currently enjoying being in the midst of an 18 hour streak of not posting in this thread.

D'oh!!

Personally, I think the statement does have its entertainment value. However, to use it during what's still billed as good-faith negotiations is, in my opinion, not appropriate or smart. For me, tactics like these would be a big reason not to sign a contract.
