Inferior replacement to Marian Hossa.

That's funny as hell. Guess they haven't been watching him play since he left Pittsburgh.

Jagr can still dominate an entire game... and jagr is a guy who can play until 40!

I wouldn't mind at all if Holland was courting him as well.

It would be great to see Jaromir retired as a Penguin. To all Jagr bashers: FU.

I'll admit that Jagr's still got something left in the tank, but I have a feeling he's going to be looking for a bit too much cash.

Eastern Conference: All offense, no defense

edit: by this I mean Pitts is dumping all their money into forwards and not solid defenders.. It's gotta be addressed or they got no shot at a cup

...Orpik might be leaving too, their best D-man

Yeah, Jagr is greedy bastard, right. Thats why he plays for Omsk..oh wait.

Wow. Unless they can sign him for a mill or less I would not do it. He seems to be poison in the locker room unless he is the team leader. Look at how he acted when Mario returned and the team went from being his team, back to being Mario's. The current Pens are Sid's team. I really do not know why they would even consider this. They had a shot a veteran leader but let Roberts go...Jagr does not add any veteran style leadership quality. Unless he goes to a team where he is the number one hombre and can wear the C, he will be much more trouble than he is worth. This would be a huge waste of resources for the Pens and PLEASE don't let Holland even consider this guy. If they want a veteran I would rather see Fedorov back, so long as he comes at a greatly discounted price.
