Francis was a great player, but Jagr created plays on his own, often out of nothing. He was a one man army, and it really didn't matter who he played with. He just produced.
I think Jagr was one of the best players in the history of the game, and agree with Jagr > Iginla. Jagr was my favorite player for many years, and I still love watching the guy. Been following Pittsburgh since Badger Bob and Joey Mullen days (but less so in the last few years, but you can bet that will change now!).
With that being said, Iginla had garbage to play with for the majority of his career, and 'decent' guys for the others. Never with such high-end players. He - like Jagr - would make plays out of nothing as well, creating his own offence. He was responsible for many a player's increase in their stats line, as well as increase in contracts! haha
You guys will be surprised at how well Jarome passes the puck - very underrated playmaker (though definitely not his forte).
I am actually really happy that Jarome went to you guys outside of the fact that I have liked your team, and of course who he gets and opportunity to play with. I also like the fact that he will finally get more exposure to the Eastern media.
I bet he gets into a fight or two before the season is done! His '04 run was simply amazing - big fight in every series that helped to change the fortunes of the team. He gives you his all to win, and inspires others to do the same. Lousy return for him really, but I would have been happy to see him play for you guys even if Calgary sent him for 'future considerations'!
