Aivis Kalnins: Jagr to make a decision in October

If NHL teams expect to have more power plays this season, SOMEONE should sign Jagr, have him ride the pine, and come out for the 16 minutes of power plays each team gets a game.

Just a thought.

Teams will hire players who are penalty-kill specialists. They should consider how critical 2 good power-play units will be this season.

I think he wants more of a role than PP specialist though...

He also wants like $3.5M per season, but that doesn't mean he's gonna get it if he wants to play in the NHL.

Chicago should sign him 1yr/1.5 million would be a great fill in for Hossa

If he was interested in that kind of deal, he'd already be signed somewhere.

It is a travesty that he is still unsigned.

Jagr to Chicago makes sense. I think he's an upgrade over Panik and the fact that he's planning on signing the day Hossa goes on LTIR points towards him signing with the Hawks.

He makes the most sense in Phoenix or Vegas. He could help both teams as well as be a mentor. In Vegas he becomes a draw for fans both at home and away. While he might be a distraction for most teams he would not for a start-up like Vegas.
