Why?
Two years ago he went for two AHL lifers and a conditional second round pick (if Boston made ECF).

Why would he be worth as much or more than that now?

He's not.

I'd bet there are some other teams out there that could use old 'Suitcase's' services.

Also, sometimes when you have a motivated buyer and a not so motivated seller, the buyer ends up paying more.

legit question.

he doesn't get as much time as he would here, and different personnel. Cammalleri plays right half-wall, which pushes Jagr left or to the other unit.

Other reason:

Gonchar-Jagr.

Subban-Markov-Jagr.

And everything I wrote in the blog about the half-wall, and what's missing there.

- EricEngels



I don;t see the half wall as the missing piece personally. Admittedly, PP was great when we had the half wall presence with guys like Kovalev but at the same time, where is our net presence?

Pacioretty is never in front of the net but rather the slot, Plekanec on the half wall, makes no sense, no right handed shot on the far side of play, and why on earth is Subban never starting on his off side.

We had 6-8 years of Schneider, Streit, Souray, Bergeron, Wiznewski on the PP and we went to the well over and over again with basting it from the point. Teams tried to stop it but couldn't. Subban needs to shoot a heck of alot more.

Guess my point is that IM Jagr doesn't turn around the PP, is an entire different approach, different set up and philosophy.

With that said, I'd take Jagr in a heart beat because he helps this team score 5 on 5 and betters our puck possession.

Actually, Subban needs to shoot a lot less on the guy standing right in front of him.
