Speculation: Armchair GM Thread: Jagrbombs all around

[DirtDiver]

I would love for this to happen.

 

[Kranix]

please make it happen

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I too would love this.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I would happen for this love to.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Just as long as he's effective and not a sad shell of his former self.

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg PLEASE

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Jagr is going to make Bennett that much better. Oh baby!!

 

[Anglesmith]

To borrow a phrase from @Calculon, go go Treliving.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Jagr is going to make Bennett that much better. Oh baby!!

Can we please please please put Ferdaddy with Bennett, and Jagr on top line? The Flames top line needs an elite puck protector. Bennett needs Ferkland, and Versteeg needs to play RW. Brouwer needs to retire.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

We gave the rookies a shot. None of them really grabbed it by the balls.

"John Shannon‏Verified account @JSportsnet Flames/Jagr talks getting serious. Should know in next 18 hours...by the way, team checked with fellow Czech Michael Frolik on Jagr. 10:35 PM - 1 Oct 2017"

Make it so!

The dream

Why does your dream have Brouwer in it?

 

[Yung Rotini]

Dear Treliving,

If you sign Jagr I will stop trying to find your address.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Your Favourite Stalker

Wasn't on the Jagr train before, but Sam deserves it, if they're so hell bent on playing him in the bottom six.

Treliving has gone on record multiple times saying it's a "3 line league" .

If we sign Jagr I assume he'll be with Bennett and Versteeg and they should get fairly decent minutes.

Ignoring what he brings in game, he should bring a ton to our young players who are learning to play a power forward game, ie. Tkachuk and Bennett.

When I say "third line", I mean "the one that plays less than the Backlund line and the Monahan line", if that makes you feel better. All three lines play a lot of important minutes but let's not kid ourselves into thinking that Bennett's line is anywhere near as important as Backlund's.

In that Shannon tweet quoted above he even specifically uses the term "3rd line minutes". The phrase "3 line league" as Treliving uses it simply means you don't rely on your top six to produce for you, hence the idea of acquiring Jagr in the first place.

For good luck...

What good will it do when Bennett doesn't have the hockey IQ to effectively use his linemates?

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

Guess the travelling Jagr's gotta get a Flames jersey

 

[Mitts]

Seeing Jagr and that 68 in a Flames jersey would be surreal.

 

[Kranix]

If they sign him, it doesn't mean Bennett-Jagr is set stone for the entire year.

 

[Volica]

True, but it’s a good place to start. Bennett doesn’t mesh well with Brouwer. Having a guy who can be a puck hog and score 40-50 points is what Sam needs in his wing.

 

[Dertell]

Assuming they don't keep Jagr with Bennett

Gaudreau-Monahan-Jagr
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Ferland-Bennett-Versteeg

looks like a decent top 9. 4th line will be a rotating party

first thing first, please please sign him

 

[Skobel24]

Sign Jagr, give him 68. Give Brodie 66 again.

I do think this means Jankowski goes back down though.
