Re: Penguins want Jagr back?!
Do you think Rossi realizes that he was just team Jagr's pawn the whole time? Poor guy, thought he was going to be on top of a huge story, turns out he just looked like a buffoon.

The Sabres would be kind of amusing.Draftnik wrote:I don't think Jagr will go to Philly. The media & fans there would be merciless if he isn't producing. I think he will end up in a low key market that has lots of Cap space and also is a secondary contender for the Cup. I'm not sure who that team is, but I think those will be the characteristics of the team that signs him.

Per Dejan: Also, anyone who thinks Svoboda was calling shots here ... wow, no. Jagr always has been maddeningly hard for agents to control.

Agree that is also a possibility. Zero pressure with the max possible $$$ a team will offer.profpolisci wrote:FloridaDraftnik wrote:I don't think Jagr will go to Philly.

I'm hoping someone in some restaurant somewhere in the world recognizes Svoboda and takes a crap and mixes it with his food.

the way I see it the Penguins called Jagr's bluff on a number of issues, and he looks like a huge **** at this point.

Get over it, he's a 38 year old has-been who hasn't won a cup since 1992. Who cares, we don't need him.

No vindication. I remember the way he left. I had bad feelings about that at the time.AlexPKeaton wrote:Yeah lots of vindication for the haters.
I didn't want him back when the conversation started.
Then I got sucked into all his bullsh*t and changed my opinion to where I was hoping it would occur.
Yesterday, I had the feeling he would burn the Pens.
And his immaturity and selfishness or arrogance or ignorance (whatever you want to call it) was proven to have never gone away.
So I don't feel vindicated. I feel burned by him again and absolutely thrilled that we are done with his drama forever.

It is one of the great mysteries to me how Vinny and Cook have a show during the workday.

Am I the only one who loves Starkey and Miller in the afternoon though? (Seibel... meh)

If #66 is as PO'd as people claim? I'd say that's going to happen regardless of where Jagr plays.Sarcastic wrote:If he signs with Philly, I want any picture of Jagr in the arena to be taken down.Malkamaniac wrote:Jagr is going to end up in Philly for 1.5 million for 1 year.
You don't make Mario look foolish. And Jagr did just that.

I could see Jagr turning this into a Sundin situation. Might not sign with anyone until Decemberish.

I just still think it's funny that Jagr flew all the way over here to get rejected by the 2 best options for him in the NHL. LOL!
