P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 Interesting news. Penguins tried to get him. Now the only star player left is Sundin. It would be funny to see Sundin in Penguins. Pens have been all but losers this offseason, so it might be a good idea for them to try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mindfly Report post Posted July 4, 2008 Huge loss for the rangers and even I think it's sad to loose one of the biggest profiles of the game. Now it's pretty obvious too that we won't see him in NHL again.. and he basically signed there cause rangers couldn't wait any longer and signed näslund and to the fact that he probably needs to secure his future with the $$$ and he doesnt even have to pay taxes.

jawbreaker 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 Good for Jagr. It seems that he really liked there, and money is good also. What options Jagr had after NYR signed Naslund? Edmonton is not better than Siberia. Atlanta is a bottom feeder. To be "Crosby's Right Winger"? Jagr has more pride than that. He will play 2-3 years in Russia. He will be major star there. After that he can finish his great career in Kladno. Sounds like a wise choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shannyfan1414 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 Still not conviced that it is a done deal. If it's then i'm happy for him. I don't feel like he enjoyed the last couple of seasons he has played. I think that he is itching to get out of the states and back home. IF it is not true then it will be interesting to see if he lands any were else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shoreline Report post Posted July 4, 2008 Well, TSN finally has it: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=242465&...s=secStory_main MOSCOW - Russian club Avangard Omsk says it has signed Jaromir Jagr, a day after the New York Rangers parted ways with the star winger. Avangard announced the signing on its website today but did not disclose the terms of the contract. Jagr had long been reported to be considering lucrative offers from Russia. Rangers general manager Glen Sather said Thursday the club could not wait any longer for Jagr to decide where he wanted to play. Jagr played for Avangard during the NHL's lockout season in 2004-05. On Thursday, the Rangers signed former Vancouver captain Markus Naslund to replace Jagr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yzerman&thewings=CUP 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 Jagr, in my opinion, is probably the most talented individual to play the game in the modern era but didn't really have the heart to become a legend. If there was ever a time I ever agreed with Barry Melrose(which is VERY rarely), it was his criticism of Jagr. He never wanted to lead which was a waste, and his teammates and coaches always wanted him to. He is a great player, but he clipped his own wings from ever getting to legendary status. Have fun in Russia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 Can't blame the guy. I was never a big fan of him but I respect the hell out of his skill. I'm glad he threw in the one liner regarding Milbury and crew, some of these talented players, Euros specifically, seem to never be good enough or do enough things right to stop dips***s like Milbury and Grapes from criticizing them. Pav got a raw deal for years too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
