[Sarcastic]

Lesky's going Lady Gaga over Jagr on a Flyers board as well. Dude's a puck bunny.

[Lesky]

Yeah, I am milking the last Jagr deal of his career - I admit it! (besides the Flyers thread is the first place news arrive, regardless if he is going back to the Flyers or not)

[Lesky]

How many hours to free agency start now?

[canaan]

Little over 4

[Lesky]

Little over 4

Thanks. Its starts at 12.00 in Pittsburgh then, correct?

What? You've got intel on Jagr on some plane? =)

[Lesky]

No, I mean free agency starts 12.00 in Pittsburgh and 18.00 in Sweden if I am not mistaken?

[littlemoonboot]

My anger at Jagr has long worn off. I still have a soft spot for the mullet. That being said:

No. No. No. No. No.

Didn't they try to get him a few years ago before he went to the KHL and Jagr wasn't interested? Can't see him playing there.

Correct. Edmonton hade a huge offer on Jagr before he signed with Omsk, so its possible they still have interest.

They also have lots of youngsters who could benefit from Jagrs influence like last season with the Flyers!

Common sense confirms, hopefully not the pens.

So glad this information is in NPR and PR. I might miss something.

Not much to report on Pens' front at the moment. If things don't heat up, I'm calling Svoboda.

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod

Michal Rozsival, Jaromir Jagr, Matt Carle and Olli Jokinen mulling over several offers right now. (nothing earth shattering, eh)

[Lesky]

Flyers waiting on Parise & Suter decision before offering Jagr a contract, not a suprise.

"rumor the Habs have two year deal on table for Jagr"

[Senka]

I wouldnt mind him here but he'll never sign here. Fans hate him. I never did, but I dont expect him to come to a place that has boo'd him for the last 10 years.

Dear Senka - No. That is all.

[Eismann]

After Parise and Suter go to DET (my guess), I could see Jagr coming back year for 1 year, mid-low money, expressly for his last year. I don't think it will happen, but it's a possibility if it's framed as the farewell.

Source: Canadiens frontrunners for Jaromir Jagr

A source told Sporting News that the Canadiens are the frontrunners to land future Hall of Famer Jaromir Jagr, having offered a one-year, $3 million contract to the 40-year-old winger who was third on the Philadelphia Flyers in scoring last season with 54 points.

Getting Jagr’s signature on the dotted line is no guarantee. His agent, Petr Svoboda, told Tim Panaccio of CSN Philadelphia, “He got 21 offers. I’m not kidding.”

Still, there is no debating that one of hockey’s greatest players moving to one of hockey’s greatest franchises would be intriguing, to say the least. In his one year with the Flyers, Jagr showed that he could still be a strong performer in the NHL after three seasons away in Russia with Avangard Omsk of the KHL.

Eight of Jagr’s 19 goals with the Flyers came on the power play, which would be a big boost to a Montreal team that was third from last in the NHL with a 14.3 percent conversion rate with in 2011-12.

Another benefit to Jagr potentially joining the Canadiens would be his veteran presence in the locker room. Players on the Flyers, young and old, raved about Jagr’s work ethic, and regularly spoke about how much they learned just from having him around. For a Montreal team whose oldest player is Jagr’s countryman, 34-year-old Czech defenseman Tomas Kaberle, adding a legend to a group of emerging forwards including Max Pacioretty and David Desharnais, with prospects coming through a rejuvenated pipeline, would be worth the gamble of Jagr’s health holding up.

One possible draw for Jagr in Montreal, aside from the city and the tradition of the Canadiens, is that he could play on a line with center Tomas Plekanec, who is from Jagr’s hometown of Kladno. Jagr played with another Kladno product in Philadelphia, Jakub Voracek, although the two were not linemates.
