The sticking point was reportedly that Sather wouldn't offer a 2 year deal for the 35+ contract (even though he handed one out to Brashear the next summer. He obviously wasn't going to get the $8.36 million he was getting on the previous deal.

That always bothered me because the 2008-2009 team was the worst squad I've head the displeasure of watching in my years as a Ranger fan. What a stupid team that was.
 
Anyone think we could do with Jagr what the Bruins did with Iginla? Low salary, high potential for bonuses - mortgage future cap space for the now?

Not sure why you'd want to mortgage future capspace when they're going to have to re-sign Lundqvist, Girardi, Staal, Moore, Brassard and Callahan after next season. Especially for a guy who's production continues to go down.

I don't want it. But if we're supposedly in the running, is there any other option?
 
Bringing in Jagr wouldn't be terribly difficult.

Demote (or trade) Asham & Powe
Trade Boyle & Pyatt
Resign Stepan (3.5) & MZA (1.25)

Leaves about 3.8m on the cap.

It's doable, but hard to say if it's a good idea or not.

I agree to an extent. Stepan gets $4 million at least. And I think Boyle stays as a LWer
 
Kreider Richards Nash
Hagelin Stepan Callahan
Pouliot Brassard Dorsett
Boyle Moore Asham
 
Jagr is definitely conditional on Zucc getting moved from my point of view. I have a hard time seing us fitting in both Zucc and JJ.

The positives with JJ is that he helps on the PP, I mean he could be huge for Richards there, he is good at protecting the puck, and he would draw a lot of attention and take pressure of the leaders on our team.

There is one big downside, I just don't think he could hold up for a Cup run. Or? He looked tired for Boston at the end and he had only played half a season etc.

Where do you see Pouliot and Kristo Ola, just curious?
 
I don't know how, or why we would want to out-bid a possibly very desperate New Jersey for one year of Jagr that might cause us to lose good future assets like Zuccarello.

I bet New Jersey is prepared to give him 5 mil. Question is can Jagr stretch them out to a two year contract?

Please let them do that then. Would be just another notch on the belt of the Benny Hill like offseason the Devils have had.
 
Chicago is stocking up on bottom pairing defensemen. Getting ready to trade one of Oduya, Hjalmarsaon, or Leddy maybe?

I wouldn't trade Boyle for Jagr straight up even if Jagr cost 2 million.
 
You don't need to be a hockey genius to identify some of the glaring voids on this team when we're discussing bringing Jagr back.
