The influence he could have on the young 'uns would make it worth it. Could be this year's Vanek for us. Him and Grigorenko
Grigorenko already signed with ZSKA Moscow for 3 years.
I liked how Nielsen played, but he's a 3rd line guy forced to play a top two lines role.
Another vote for Jagr, because well, it's Jagr. It'd be another reason to watch this team.
Plus we could pretend we drafted him instead of Primeau in 1990 and he was on the Wings for his whole career.
If there's cap space, signing Jagr would be fun to watch. He was interested a while ago, he might still be.
Trading Nyquist/Tatar and Russo/Sproul for a cheaper upgrade on D would alleviate some capspace and some room to sign him.
All aboard for signing Jagr because he's an entertaining player and I could add him to my Stars to Wings list.
He isn't the player he was but that doesn't change much. The guy can still play and would certainly be a great way to put people in seats since the product is very bad right now. Signing him would be not only good because I certainly think that he improves our PP which is one of the biggest reasons we sucked last year but you can market Jagr still. (Not nearly as much as other players but for the price and where we are, I think its great tool)
Just sucks that we have so much money tied up in JUNK. Holland has us so restricted its disgusting.
What are the odds, and this question goes out to anyone, that we can move one of those bad contracts? I know they all have Ntc or Nmc, what's the chance we could get one of the players to wave? The prospects of staying here might not be great? If one of the swedes is unhappy maybe more want to go. Yes I know we might have to retain salary or add picks etc. It would be nice to get a free asset like Jagr, and move Tatar for a nice return, sort of fills his spot to an extent, and we get much needed picks back.

I don't seeing many waving. Green and Neilsen might.
Yeah, for all the faults we talk about, Detroit is still a great team to play for. Even with all my criticism, as a veteran player in the league, it would absolutely be on my short list of organizations. They do seem to treat player quite well unless you're just breaking into the league.
At some point in time, I can see Neilsen waiving.
