How many points?

I dont think McDavid would be a good fit for Jagr anymore with his speed based game. The old Man wouldn't be able to keep up.

 

[BB88]

Would be beyond terrible.

He’d be an anchor

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

He'd probably score a goal in his first shift the pull his groin

 

[Scandale du Jour]

He'd probably be great on the PP, but that's it.

Jagr is old and fat. I don't see him keeping up. He got 29pts in the Czech league last season. I'd say, in a 56 game season, he gets maybe 15pts. 1 goal, 14 assists. And those are mainly secondary assists, with the two thoroughbreds doing all the real scoring.

EDIT: if I played with the two, I bet I could score 5pts.

Do you mean in the current 56 game season or in 82 games?

If you gave McDavid the puck in the defensive zone and let him go up the ice to score like he does at least a few times per season you could probably pick up a few points.

 

[Machinehead]

The fastest man in the world and a 49 year old.

What could go wrong with that?

Still think he gets low-20's in a full season.

I'd absolutely be like the third d-man and stand in the high slot, and just clear whichever puck comes my way, high and far, and hopefully in the general direction of McDavid. I imagine if I do that 10 times a game, 500 times a season, it's got to be good for a few apples.

I think he could still pick up ~40 points in a full 82 game season with the (admittedly completely unrealistic) assumption that this line stays intact the whole year and he isn't injured. I mean he just needs to pass it to those two, and assuming they still score 100pts+ each, he's bound to rack up up the assists. They don't really even play together that often IIRC and still manage to outscore everyone else on their own lines by wide margins.

He just needs to be very smart with his plays and positioning given he probably will be among the slowest members of the team.

Like someone else said even an HFer who can play beer league hockey will pick up 5 points if stapled on a line with those two.

 

[DowJones]

Jagr havent even reached his peak yet, just wait for it.

 

[Puck Dogg]

The guy is nearly 50 years old. If Eliteprospects' stats are correct he has scored 1+2=3 in 13 games in Czech second-tier league. I'm not convinced he would do well in the NHL today.
