Jagr earlier this week :

"I have to see. There is time. I haven't thought about it. My contract just ended, and if I have a good offer [from Avangard] I will certainly consider it. Maybe some other teams will make me offers. As for the NHL, we'll see. I think that if I want to play in the NHL, I will come and I will be able to play in the NHL. I am not saying I will play on the first line, but I will be able to play."

do you think its a possibility? and which team do you think he would best suite?

i would love for him to be back

Just so long as he's not on the Wings, I don't really care....if he's on the Wings I'll be pissed....

i'd love to have him, if we could squeeze him into a one-year contract. he's looked great against solid nhl-level competition in the world championships. and i think that he'd look great next to pav or hank as well.

Funny thing is he could still reach 40 goals on a line with Dats or Zettie.

Probably too expensive. If not, I bet Jagr would want to play for Wings; I would love to see that, may be he could teach Fransen how to be a consistent goal scorer.. But is it even theoretically possible, or it will be another Nabokov-type story?

It wouldn't be because we're not signing him mid-season

He's trying to save his hometown team right now and don't really have time to think about his future team at this point. He needs a bit more time to finish the job so NHL is better option from this perspective because NHL camp starts in mid-september, KHL in late july.

He's offered $3.5M/season (tax free) from Petersburg and Omsk. They also say that NHL teams are willing to offer him around $2.5M/season. He says if it's NHL he won't think too much about money.

They talk about Montreal as the biggest candidate then Detroit, NY Rangers and Pittsburgh.

I would love to see Jagr back in the NHL, he is a great talent

[St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422]

Would love to see him back but I don't want him on our team.

Jagr to replace Modano? ($2.5M/season)

Wow, so apparently Jagr would like to play here.... The key question is whether or not Holland wants the same thing?

[amato 3,210]

if the price is right we'll probably sign him if he really thinks he can come and compete/help out. the wings like to make the most of older players..

[Never_Retire_Steve 35]

Jagr is awesome and still has tons of skill, would be an awesome guy to have on the 2nd PP
