LeBrun: Panthers cut ties with Jagr

[Bleedred]

I could see him not getting signed anywhere in the NHL.

Which sadly has more to do with his date of birth than his current ability in the NHL.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

If it's true that no one is contacting Jagr, Maybe he needs to retire or go overseas he's already has a wonderful future Hall of Fame career.

 

[kilowatt]

Jagr should sign with LA. He could play top-line RW minutes here.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

So many teams could use him still. Jagr is the wild card. No one knows what he wants to do.

 

[Merc29]

Maybe a 1 year 2 million (all proformanced based) to Pitt?

 

[TropicalAntarctica]

He doesn't care about winning. What he cares about is making more than 3m and playing on a top 6 scoring line with PP time.

I don't know who could guarantee that for 82 games.

Florida could/did and Jagr turned them down, so who knows whats happening from now on.

 

[Redline]

Florida seemed like a great place for Jagr, he's gonna miss it.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

He still produces. He's a good option for a lot of teams.

Agreed, in the right situation he can be a good asset and probably won't cost much.
One year at a time though.

Not cost much? Jagr probably wanted 5$ million at least.

Its clear it was a money thing. The only thing I dont understand. Why give Dadonov 4 million per year for a player who has proved NOTHING and the NHL and let Jagr walk. Its not like the russian dude is going sell tickets and jerseys etc and give credibility for the organisation around league. Jagr is a PR machine. And Jagr can pass Gordie Howe for MOST GAME PLAYED ALL TIME this season. Would have been nice to see that in a Cats uniform.

Cats could also trade Jagr at the trade deadline and get some draft pick if things did not play out well.

A fan asked Tallon how the negotiations were going with Jagr which set off a loud chant of J-A-G-R, J-A-G-R from the approximately 900 fans attending the event.

Tallon gave the same answer he’s been giving for months.

“I talked to his agent on a regular basis, Petr Svoboda, almost every day,’’ Tallon said. “I talked to him today; we’ll talk tomorrow.’’

It’s clear that the Panthers don’t want to pay Jagr the same $5.5 million he earned last season ($4 million base plus bonuses).

“$5.5 million isn’t a huge salary?’’ Tallon shot back when asked if money was the issue.

“Of course, [the window is still open to sign him]. We have ‘til September, October.’’

Several fans wore Jagr’s No. 68 jersey.

“I think they need his leadership,’’ said Lee Haliniewski of Miami. “They need a hockey icon in that locker room with all the changes in the front office and coaches. They need something stable in that locker room and he’s it.’’

Well if he's after that much he might have a long wait.

Well if he's after that much he might have a long wait.

Maybe I was wrong according to new sources:

 

[Deku]

Vegas for him
Maybe Calgary, they need wingers dont they?

 

[Dessloch]

Maybe I was wrong according to new sources:

Probably Florida wanted to prevent backslash from fanbase after cutting Jagr lose. Tallon paints a picture of Jagr turning Florida down for money reasons and Jagr will take the blame and be the scapegoat.

Exactly what Ray Shero did back in 2011 with Pittsburgh.

A shame if Florida handled Jagr this way....but its Florida after all, would you be suprised?

 

[Namtsua]

I'd have time for him in Edmonton

 

[TheBigThree]

vegas is a perfect fit

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Would be nice if you started including sources rather than making stuff up and writing posts like it is fact.

 

[Muddy Wilbury]

vegas is a perfect fit

Not if you have a gambling problem.

 

[Byrddog]

IMO silly for the Panthers to do this. He held a group of kids together.

 

[authentic]

I really want the Leafs to get him. I don't care how bad he is, I love that man and want a Jagr Toronto jersey

Lol he's not even bad. Just put up 46 points with good possession stats with most of his regular linemates not playing for much of the season.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Not sure if sarcastic or an incredibly stupid thing to say. Hopefully the first.

But he is washed up...

 

[Francis10]

Jagr and Crosby on a line would be interesting.

 

[Juicy Pop]

If we didn't have a plethora of wingers right now I'd really love to see him with Patrick.
