I think Jagr and Iggy call it quits, great careers nothing left to prove. I would be surprised if the Flames signed Jagr.
If Jagr lowers his contract demands somebody will sign him, hope it isn't us.
For, Iginla most likely it is the end of the road.
Chia is not too swift. Now that Drysaddle is signed he will make another poor decision.
Chia says defense is oilers strong point despite the stats, so 2x$4 for Jagr makes sense, get it done.
If the price is right Jagr is still a safe bet for one season.
Dimlights, I want to hear reason which you can backup with stats. And don't fall back on MickyD 💕 Or Drysaddle.
Jagr or no Jagr, JuicyPoo will need one more season in the AHL, he is channeling his inner Yak so far.
The KHL is always looking for or players. JuicyPoo might still have a future.
You might be right , as Jesse "James" Puljujarvi might break out this year and beat McDavid and Draisaitl in scoring race like he did in juniors beating Laine and Matthews in many tournaments . At least Flame fans can get their fill of this talent being in the Pacific division . Oilers might look like Mutt and Jeff if Yamamoto was to play with Jesse . Oilers seem to have a pipeline of elite talent coming . Brings back memories of Ventures instrumental "Pipeline ".
Juicy may break out in hives too. What tournaments are you speaking off. You comparing a prospect who got demoted to AHL with NHL players. Yamo, hahaha, keep dreaming….. With you everything comes out roses for coilers, your own writers are laughing at that.
Wouldn't signing Jagr create competition on the wing? What's wrong with that? I'm sure he can offer a lot of leadership to young players,even to guys like Gaudreau,and Monahan who are still young and learning.
As far as leadership, there is value in that dept. However, leadership is not an issue for Calgary. Gio, Stajan, Backlund, Versteeg are top end leaders. And then another wave of solid young leaders in Sean, Johnny, D Hamilton, Brodie.
From my heart, I would love a Calgary Flames Jagr jersey! But my brain says pass.
While there is leadership there is not one person on the team with the resume of Jagr. Jagr had 46 points last year on a crappy team. I'm sure you could use a 50 point forward on your team. This is may be over the hill but not in hockey terms and if you can sign him to a decent dollar amount then I think you would, but then again I'm not sure he would come in on the cheap?
I agree about Jagr resume. But not having an equal on a team could be said about 95% of the other teams in the league.
Money wise, I do think he doesn't prefer our climate or our travel levels. So, we would have to pay more to lure him. But the longer he is without a contract, the price goes down.
I also think that playing with Connor would have a bigger draw. Why not Edmonton?
We got Giordano our captain he's old enough . No more Dinosaurs,Flames is historic to signings players on there last legs (Amonte) housley . Steve smith . Bertuzzi .mortison .raymond . On and on no more !!!
Is this a weekly article now ? ON just did a jagr one too. I think we can do better .lets go with . Phil Kessel trade? Again? Hmmmmmmm. Let me see ….
People just want Jagr for the jersey.
