I am sentimental and would like to see Jagr sign with the Penguins. I am also going to preemptively call anyone an idiot who thinks he can't keep up with fast forwards, game comes to Jagr, Jagr not come to game.

Gunjin posted:It's vague as poo poo, but it's in there. Yeah, I dunno what PPP was talking about there. Summer LTIR is very much a thing and has been since the first CBA. In terms of available cap space it's far better to figure out how to cram the injured guys onto your opening day roster and then throw them onto LTIR, but there's nothing stopping you from putting them on LTIR in the summer (except for the fact that you'd end up with a bit less additional cap space during the season).

I would love to see the Canucks sign Jagr and put him with the twins to make the slowest, cyclist line in the history of the sport.

My second choice would be the Sharks with Jumbo but this would be fun too. Actually he'd be a good fit for the Capitals if they could somehow get him under the cap. Maybe Nashville to replace Neal.

Leonsis would never let the Caps sign Jagr, even if he took league minimum to play on the 3rd line, dude holds a grudge.

I gave up any grudge toward Jagr when he basically straight-up apologized for not living up to expectations in DC. It would be hilarious to bring him back here.

He'd honestly be perfect for them but for ~history~ and well the cap of course. I think mentally he'd be a good addition too for that group but oh well

I'd take Jagr back on a cheap deal I really don't give a poo poo about 15 years ago. I'm pretty sure Tom Wilson is their second line right wing right now which seems less than ideal???

Even I would probably root for a Penguins threepeat if they signed Jagr. That's just too good of a story, and I basically only watch hockey for the narrative these days.

If Jagr just wanted money he'd have already signed with the KHL or an even crappier league.

https://twitter.com/SportsCentre/status/885163049451225088 $5.3 mil AAV. That's a good deal for a defenseman who's probably not well known.

He's solid, but more importantly he had an awesome response when a reporter asked after a hat trick when the last time he had one was, he goes "Probably in mites?". Which is hockey for like, 8 year olds I believe.

It's a game theory maneuver. Condition people to think of you with an extra C and within a few years boom, Captain. Grant Some employs a similar trick.

Seems like a good deal to me. Slavin is real good and he's only 23. Contract could look like a bargain in a hurry.

Since people know who Slevin is, I assume that someone is watching Hurricanes games. So, what's the deal with Hanifin? Is he still projected to be a top D? Is he taking the Hedman route of waiting a few years before becoming elite?

I probably catch 20 or so Canes games a year and my impression is that Hanifin is fine. He's still only 19 and averaged like 18-20 minutes a game. His numbers improved across the board so, like you said, I think it's just going to be a bit of a slow development and he'll have a breakout year sometime soon. He's definitely real close. He bounced around and had a few partners, but when Hainsey was traded to Pittsburgh he started getting a lot more important minutes and his statistics were even better than when he was getting sheltered/depth minutes. It wouldn't surprise me if he takes a big step forward, in terms of offensive production, next season considering how well he played at the tail end of last year. They usually play him with Pesce or Faulk and he has a lot of good chemistry with those guys.

The Wings are apparently still in talks with Vanek, but I guess the hitch is shedding salary elsewhere. Despite having all the trappings of an idiotic Holland move, signing Vanek on the cheap and shipping him out at the deadline would probably be worth it. Tatar is also asking for 6 million but and beat writers are arguing that the Teej contract might pull him down to 5 million. He's one of like 3 moveable assets on the team and he's also not going to be worth his contract by the time team recovers, so just trade him, my dudes. Trade Tatar. Slot Vanek in. Tank and collect assets. The end.
