As future Hall-of-Famer Jaromir Jagr continues to see a limited market for his services, the Columbus Blue Jackets have given consideration of adding Jagr into the mix for the 2017-2018 season, league sources say.
No offer has been made to Jagr’s agent Petr Svoboda but the Blue Jackets have weighed bringing Jagr in on a camp invite as a potential bottom-6 winger and power play specialist.
The NHL’s second all-time leading scorer has yet to give much inkling to the few teams kicking tires if he’d be willing to come to an NHL camp without a contract.
Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reported on Tuesday the Calgary Flames are among the teams that have discussed Jagr.
Sign him and trade Maatta. Makes perfect sense.
Damnit Pens sign him! $1M let him play on 3rd line move Wilson to Center and roll with it.
We aren’t making an effort to get a center so why not?
Because when you have too many RWs, you dont’ add…another RW? I don’t even understand the question.
Lest we forget, the only place he’s still largely effective is on the PP – and he’d get next to no PP time here.
A Penguins fan clamoring for an ex player to return. Who would’ve thunk it?
Indeed. It’s amazing how that works. I hate Jagr – i hated how he left, and I’m kinda grudgy – even I thought it was a good idea to bring him back in 2012 when it ultimately didn’t work out. Right now? It makes less than zero sense. He has no place on this team. A team like Calgary? Sure.
That capspace will also prove beneficial throughout the season when2are looking to set up for the playoffs
No. Let it go already. There is zero need for Jagr. We already have too many right wingers.
