I like our mix of youngsters and veterans however not enough guys are producing consistently. We could use a spark and Jagr could very well provide it. IMO he's shown he can still play at an NHL level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Considering the team is trying to squeeze in the forwards they already have, it'd be a big no from me. Unless, of course, they wanted to take Kindl and Andersson in return as JEH suggested Jagr strikes me more as someone a team like Nashville, the Rangers or Pittsburgh (as unlikely as that would be now) should pick up. Add some secondary scoring for a pick. Detroit needs to sort things out at forward - not add something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure it may be unfair to him but the Wings really are not in a position to ta ke chances on forwards, Defense is needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yztheman 29 Report post Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) I always thought jagr would fit in here well, you remember we were one of the teams considered in on the signing a few years ago but honestly we shoulda got him then when we needed him more, he can play the back and forth game, hang on to the puck make plays, and shoot. But not a high level player as consistently anymore. Not really what we need right now with a team of bottom sixers. We need a power 1st or 2nd liner O-man who can push the puck deep and assist/score. And a quality 1st or 2nd D man would be nice also. Will anything happen? No. Kenny is a one trick pony, multiple deals won't happen; only a medicore trade at best and I only see that if we get big injury, and we will over pay. Holland hasn't broken the mold and he won't this year, look for a playoff entry and exit, and drafting. Same broken record. Over the last couple years I thought the aging of our superstars would push management to make sure we were a top tier contender, but now I see they won't and we will only be a middle of the pack team, like many other hockey fans I have heard say. The focus from management is obviously NOT "win now". They will let the chips fall where they will as long as we make the playoffs. *edit typo Edited January 4, 2015 by yztheman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
