I think he just won't be convinced unless you have a "source" of your own. The more secret and nebulous the source, the better. Only then will you be a hockeyy insiderr.

nnow wwe're ggetting ssomewhere

Great news for the Flyers.
- stveshdy

Agreed...it was great seeing Jagr playing in Philly but another year of him really gets us nowhere

I bet Flyers have told him to test it. They are gonna kick the tires with Parise and if it doesn't work out, bring him back.

They might be saving the room to fit Weber. If they sign Jagr right away, it's less room to fit Weber

Good news here.

Jagr should be an Option 4 should Weber, Nash, Parise all fail IMO.

Great news for the Flyers.
- stveshdy

Fantastic news! Made no sense to commit to him before exploring what else is out there. Good guy, well past his prime and an extreme injury risk.

Glad the Flyers seem to be moving on from him.

Darren Dreger says Jagr is going to test FA.

Nice!!!

Blues re-sign Barrett Jackman to a 3 year deal. He would have been ideal if the Flyers only made tweaks

It implies a major move is on the horizon for sure

Would love to see EDM sign Jagr ...he would do wonders for those kids

Agreed. Lets see what else is out there first.

Could just be that Jagr's demands in money or ice time were more than Homer was prepared to agree to.

If Jagr demanded top line and top PP time, how could Homer guarantee that?

Weber this year = Stamkos last year

He will be an Ottawa Senator

Weber actually fills a need though. Stamkos was more a pipe dream.

See, I don't the correlation whatsoever. Stamkos was just using the Flyers to drive up his own price. That does not appear to be the case here with Weber's status as a UFA looming in just 1 year.

This is true....Jagr's top line demands are out of line

Maybe the Flyers upgrade with a Joe Corvo type player. Sign him to a one year deal to be on the third pairing. 34 years old and RH shot. I wouldn't break the bank for him but he could be an option if all the other options dont work.

He will be an Ottawa Senator

Him and Alfie could be the Geritol line

I'd bet on Montreal. He'd see top-line minutes and PP time there with his bud Plekanec.

Corvo as a 6th guy isn't a bad idea, either.

I wouldn't be amazed if he ended up back here. Nobody's giving him more than a 1 year deal, so it'll boil down to cash and role.

I honestly forgot that happened....yeah, scratch him

Joe Corvo has been benched for the past 5 games and when asked why he was being benched he responded, "Claude mentioned that I was a defensive liability.”
