Phil Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Jagr, 45, joined the Panthers in 2015 and signed two subsequent one-year contracts but ? as of now ?will not be returning. This week, Jagr joked on social media that no teams were talking to him with Florida general manager Dale Tallon saying that wasn?t true, that he had been talking to Jagr?s agent Petr Svoboda. As of Saturday morning, as the free agency period came closer, reports surfaced that the Panthers and Jagr had severed ties and Jagr would become a free agent. A source with the Panthers, who had said Jagr would be welcomed back to Florida at a much lower price tag than the $5.5 million he made last season (Jagr made $1.5 million in bonuses), confirmed the two sides had stopped talking. The two are said to be very far apart as far as money goes. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nhl/florida-panthers/article159237644.html ? It has to be Vegas, no?

NYR2711 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Doesn't he have gambling problems? I don't think Vegas would be a good spot for him off the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 If he wanted to work cheap for 1 season and could be arranged to give him time off, might make sense. But he looked really old toward the end of the season, and not just the gray beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Shatty at the point on the same side with Jagr on the half wall on the overload ? I'd like to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'd love to bring him back but I don't think the Rangers can afford it. He was looking for something really close to what he made last season, which is why the Panthers walked away.

Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk The Panthers aren't as close as the Rangers though. It makes more sense for the Rangers to give him the money. Unless something else is in the works, or being explored, it's not going to hurt them anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 The Rangers can't afford it, is my point. Not that he's not worth it. They have roughly $8.4M left to re-sign Zibanejad and acquire another center. They just don't have the $5.5M to give him.

Phil Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 ?I know some teams that have kind of talked and taken a look at it,? said Elliotte Friedman on the NHL Network (H/T to FanRag Sports). ?I think Calgary has been one that has kind of looked at it. One of his former coaches, Glen Gulutzan, is coaching up there.? Friedman also heard teams suggesting that Anaheim might be interested in Jagr, but based on his own investigation that doesn?t appear to be the case. Ultimately Jagr might end up starting the season in the Czech Republic and would have the option of playing in the Olympics if that happens, but even if he does begin the year in Europe, he could still re-sign with an NHL squad later on in the 2017-18 campaign. http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2017/08/22/report-flames-might-have-interest-in-jagr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 :tweet: @NicholsOnHockey: LeBrun/Jagr: "I'm told his camp is in discussions w/ two, three NHL teams right now." Hoping to get done by end of camp. Not a sure thing. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverRangerFrank Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 He's a warrior and a superior athlete who prepares himself to the absolutely highest standards as a professional. IF he is still in that game-shape, the NHL is better with him in it. Father time will eventually put an end to his run. Maybe coaches are beginning to recognize the end in sight...IDK.

NYR2711 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 He had a good year last year. I wish we could grab him to play with Buch since Jagr has the Russian connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just heard that he did, indeed, sign with the Flames as per guys on NHL Hockey Central. 1 yr, $1 mil. Some performance bonuses are involved too from what they are saying. http://www.tsn.ca/jagr-signs-one-year-1m-deal-with-flames-1.872620 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Daily Faceoff has him on the third line with Kris Versteeg and Sam Bennett. They probably need a stronger defensive presence on that line for it to be successful, but could be nice guidance for a youngster like Bennett. Glad Jags is still in the league.
