Maybe it is ploy hoping Jagr will go "wait, wait WAIT!"??

Jagr is almost 40 years old! How can you blame his agent? Give me a break.

He's gloating because many fans wanted it to happen, not because he thinks it will make that big of a difference to the team, much a lot of other fans.

Well, he will never return to Pittsburgh in any capacity now. I know for a fact that he will never have his jersey retired in this town.

I believe it's going to be a two year deal in the six to eight million range for the term

Jagr is such a question mark at this point, there is no way of knowing that.

Kennedy and Upshall are both capable of 25+ goal seasons without the drama. No telling what kinda season Jagr would have had here.

I'll take the grit over the glamor any day.
talk about a bidding war, Upshall is going to command some serious cash.

Shero doesn't mess around. Good for future free agent signings I think. Feels bad as a fan, but probably for the best. 70 points not worth the drama and potential downside to Jagr being here

Well, this probably means there will be a signing in the next couple of hours. Maybe "just" Kennedy, or maybe another FA forward just after noon.

Agreed, I better not see his jersey in the rafters of CEC.

I kind of agree. He could have rebuilt every bridge he burnt. So much for the "I'd take the minimum to play for Mario line." :roll:

You really don't think 5 years from now this will all be forgotten? It will be retired

This is who Svoboda reminds me of

There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"

"My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all"

"Our initial assessment is that they will all die"

"I blame Al-Jazeera - they are marketing for the Americans!"

"God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis."

"They're coming to surrender or be burned in their tanks."

"No I am not scared, and neither should you be!"

"Be assured. Baghdad is safe, protected"

"Who are in control, they are not in control of anything - they don't even control themselves!"

"We are not afraid of the Americans. Allah has condemned them. They are stupid. They are stupid" (dramatic pause) "and they are condemned."

If Jagr didn't feel this way, and his agent did the "bidding" war on his own. Jagr should speak up. If Jagr doesn't say anything, then it's all about the $$$.

I like it to, i think Shero learned a lessen with the Hossa signing in Det, he held out a little to long and played his cards wrong.
