I feel like the entire Red Wings front office has been in an intense fight to keep Ken Holland from the phone all morning...
The mid-1700s seems to be cursed: Howe finished with 1767, Messier 1756, Jagr (currently) 1733, Francis 1731.
Odd how all these guys seem to have fizzled out at about the same time.
Some players don't know when to retire. I feel sorry that Jagr did not get it.

You probably didnt saw his last few seasons if you think that way.Some players don't know when to retire. I feel sorry that Jagr did not get it.
Thing is it appears to me he doesn't want to pay the price anymore. When he signed with us, he admitted he hadn't trained in the off season
That is complete nonsense.
He said that he hadn't played games in five months because his team missed the playoffs and then he missed the pre-season. Jagr absolutely trained all off-season. He's notorious for his gruelling workouts and strict training regimen. What you are saying is totally false.
You're the third person to put their foot in their mouth with regards to what I said, maybe do a little research before telling someone what their saying is nonsense.That is complete nonsense.

Incorrect, he did not train as per usual, if he had he would have played some preseason games, he did not, but don't take my word for it. To quote Jagr himself "Give me a little bit of time because it was a little bit of a different summer, when you don't have motivation to practice, to go any direction, I didn't know where I gonna play If I ever gonna play, so now I know so I probably gonna need a little more time than usually, but after a while I can promise you i'll do everything to help this team."
He says it 1:08 seconds in

Jagr will land on his feet.
Don't think he needs your sympathy.
Pretty funny that a guy who floated the idea that a 45 year old man could skip training for an entire off-season, skip the pre-season and then play NHL games in October is talking about someone else having their foot in their mouth. What you are suggesting is hilariously naive. Jagr trained, he just didn't do his usual insane schedule.
Did you even watch this video that you think is evidence that he didn't train all summer? The video talks about how his summer was different, but he certainly doesn't suggest that he didn't train in the off-season, which, as I said before, is utter nonsense.
I know two people that did some training with Jagr in July and part of August. One of them, quite a bit younger than Jaromir, couldn't keep up and stopped the workouts. To suggest he didn't train in the off-season is laughable. He trained, and trained hard, but he didn't do what he has been doing previously. (His workouts, especially with the weighted skates, stick and equipment, are truly legendary.)
