Todd Cordell: Report: Jaromir Jagr Expected To Sign With The New Jersey Devils Today

Lou, you're losing your touch. Why sign this player? He's too old and too slow. Save a roster space for a young up and coming player or at least one younger than 35.

Hope he can hold up for the season.

I can't (frank)ing wait until he signs with someone.

These jagr and Brunner rumors are getting old.

We don't really have any up and comers this year

And why exactly would Lou not let him wear #68? I don't think hed play anywhere and not wear that #

Only up and comer this year is Reid Boucher and he could probably benefit from some AHL time.

Not one young player on our roster who will out produce Jagr as long as he is healthy.

Yeah, they are not going to let him have 68...

I really hope he isn't given top six minutes.

I just know he will right out the gates.

Still, it's Jagr. There will be personal keys to the gym and arena waiting for him too.

If Gilmour and Mogilny got there numbers im positive Jagr will get his. I know don't want him in the top 6 either but unless Teddy or someone else pushes him out he will be. Pretty much guaranteed if he comes and is probably one of the major reasons he signed with us if this does indeed happen.

I hope so

His workouts and lifestyle and such are pretty interesting to read about.

Doesn't he do a ton of squats every day?

Still has arguably the BEST lower-strength in the NHL. His puck protection down low is remarkable, I mean really. Crosby can't even pull the stuff he pulls off down low. If he can stay healthy and be used correctly, he can still put up numbers.

After watching him with the Flyers, I can safely say if he's used correctly in scoring and PP situations, he can put the puck in the net. He wasn't used that well or effectively in Boston, and their style of play was literally night-and-day to what suits Jagr best. Don't let his lack of goals in the playoffs or with the Bruins in general fool you.

I really hope he isn't given top six minutes.

He's probably going to be on the 1st line! lol Especially playing with Elias with the olympics coming up.

What are you guys even looking at now...

L1: Elias Zajac Jagr

L2: Clowe Henrique Ryder

L3: Josefson Loktionov Zubrus

L4: Olesz Gionta Bernier

Pressbox: Carter Tedenby Barch

Someone has to be waived/sent down to the AHL and your 4th line will most likely be a mixture of all 6 of the players on the bottom 2 lines.

I'd have to search for the article but I remember reading when he was in Pittsburgh, someone moved into his Apartment. It was just workout equipment and a chair and tv. That's all.

Jagr won't help this team be competitive. is lou signing him to get a 2nd rd pick at deadline?

It doesn't fool me, I just don't want him getting too many minutes.

I think jagr and Ryder should be switched

And there's no chance in hell carter gio and bernier are broken up

Don't understand the concept of why someone wouldn't like a player to have a particular number. Its a number, it means absolutely nothing other than aesthetics. So stupid.
