Jaromir Jagr / Jarome Iginla

[The Roy Of Ottawa]

Jaromir Jagr is leaving to play in Europe, might return to NHL in future. Jarome Iginla doesn't want to play in NHL unless he is put on a team that can win the Cup this year, until then, it appears he will be playing for Team Canada in the Olympics this year. Should Jagr and Iginla just retire already? It doesn't look like Jagr is going to surpass Howe in goals.

Iginla's going ot the Olympics?

Is Jagr playing in the Olympics? Would be cool to see those 2 face each other. Also Datsyuk and Kovalchuk. It'd be like traveling back in time to 2006.

 

[Jagr4President]

Iginla isn't on the official roster for team Canada.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Jagr won't play in the NHL again. He'll be 46 this month and not getting younger, and teams aren't going to use roster spot for his 10 goals.

Iginla might find a depth spot with a team like the Knights or Jets who might want the extra veteran presence in the room. Especially if they have an injury at wing before the playoff roster freeze. Who knows. Weirder things have happened.

. Should Jagr and Iginla just retire already?

That's up to them.

 

[Terry Yake]

pretty sure you can't play if you've played in a NHL game this season. and iginla isn't on the final roster

There is no reason for Iginla to be a Jet lol

 

[tarheelhockey]

There is no reason for Iginla to be a Jet lol

I mean, it's a roster where only 4 guys have ever experienced a playoff series win, and where only Byfuglien knows what it's like to go past the second round.

Just seems to me that if there's a hole at RW, Iginla might be a better option than an AHL'er for a team that has ambitions for a deep run.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

If Iggy wanted to grind out on the fourth line with the Jets, I'd be all for it!

 

[Jumptheshark]

This threads meaning?

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Should Jagr and Iginla just retire already?

They should keep playing as long as teams keep paying. If teams have a roster spot for either one of them and they still want to play hockey in their heart of hearts, then I see no reason for them to stop.

I don't see Jagr stopping just because he's not in the NHL. He'll keep playing until he can't play anymore.

It is up to them to decide if they want to retire, not us.

 

[beowulf]

Where did you get your info that Iginla will be playing in the Olympics? Don't see it reported anywhere.

 

[PepperKeenan]

Both players first names start with "Jarom", played RW, have played for the bruins, flames and the penguins, have lead the league in points, have won gold at the olympics. I'm not sure why i'm listing these things so I'll stop.

Jagr is just going to come back to the NHL in another 5 years, having rejuvinated himself in the loins of women across Europe. He will then put up 3 more 50pt seasons at the age of 50-53.

 

[Dessert Nights]

I think Jagr should come back when he turns 50 and play one home game for every team. So every game will be his last game for the franchise and there will be an hour long ceremony before every game.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Both can go quietly off into the sunset IMO.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't mind him (or Jagr) for the 3rd or 4th line veteran presence.

 

[izzy]

iginla is a terrible bottom 6 option

hes slow and doesnt give a shit about defense

Iggy isn't playing for Team Canada.

Was probably his last shot to make a NHL team (i.e. impress at the Olympics and somebody take a chance on him). But he couldn't make the cut/team Canada decided they had better options.

More simply put -- Iggy's done.
