I have heard the Wings weren't particularly happy with him when he flirted with them and abruptly went to Philly. Maybe that has changed. I don't think Jagr really skates well enough at this point, he cannot play with Zetterberg as we cannot stomach both on the ice and would he whine when he doesn't get the top playmaker?
He does have legendary work ethic and seems to get the young guys on his team working out so from that standpoint it might help. But they don't need to kill themselves to get him. I don't think he will have a lot of value as a deadline asset either if we do get him on a one year deal, he just cannot really play playoff pace and shifts at this point. Jagr is a legend, but realistically at this point he doesn't offer a ton. If we want a slow skating offensive player we can just bring back Vanek and we already know the fit and he is better at this point in their respective careers in my opinion.
