Confirmed With Link: Jagr to FLA for 2nd and choice of 3rd

Per NJD Twitter

That's a beauty of a trade for the Devils. Couldn't expect more, wouldn't take less.

 

[NJDevs26]

Gotta love the Devils breaking their own trade. Classic Lou.

A better return than I thought, and for those who worried Lou wouldn't cash out, well trading Jagr to a team we're 'competing with' for a playoff spot is definitely a cash out deal.

2nd and a 3rd round pick .... Great job Lou

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Lou did work on that one. no complaints.

THATS what you do with guys on 1 year deals if they arent working out.

Very fair return.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Pretty much what he was worth at this point. He did us no favors by seemingly mailing it the past few weeks, but it could just be father time catching up. I'm not sure if this signals Lou is "selling" or he just agreed with what Jagr said and there's no point in him being here anymore.

Either way good return on a guy who wasn't coming back, I like it!

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

now we root for the Panthers to lose every game from here on out.

 

[Sascha Goc]

Good job Lou!

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Good return. Wish Jagr the best in Florida except when he faces the Devils, of course.

 

[Devils Dominion]

I knew it was his last game as a Devils yesterday evening.
Had that gut feeling.

Good return our way, wonder what the condition is for the 3rd.

Now, we want to root against Florida the rest of the season to get as good a draft pick as possible.

 

[OmNomNom]

off to florida to retire hahaha.

if we're lucky, panthers will suddenly suck, and we'll get a low 2nd rd pick!

When you trade him to a team directly competing with you that's selling

And I was worried Jagr'd played his value down to at best a conditional two...thankfully that wasn't the case.

 

[Unknown Caller]

First time HF has ever broken a trade for me. Well done.

 

[Burner Account]

I don't think this was about "selling".

I think it was about getting rid of a guy who was mouthing off to the press.

 

[Billdo]

Condition is taking either Minnesotas 3rd or Floridas 3rd next year.

THe condition is the higher of Florida's third-rounders.

#NJDevils acquire Florida’s 2nd-rd pick in 2015 & New Jersey's option of Florida or Minnesota’s 3rd-rd selection in 2016 for Jaromir Jagr.

No salary retained in Jagr deal. Condition on third round pick is that Devils decide which of two third round picks Panthers have they want

I like that condition.

True, but maybe Florida had the best return? It's not like we're going to rue this trade in a few years, he's done after this season and seemingly done already.
