The Penguins’ interest in bringing back Jaromir Jagr — rendered moot yesterday by the Panthers acquiring him — had all kinds of weird elements. I’m not at liberty to divulge much more than that, but suffice it to say that, in some form, the Penguins sought assurance from Jagr that he’d be fine with returning to Pittsburgh and being reunited with Mario Lemieux. And no, I have no idea what form that could have taken, so don’t ask.

Jagr is one of the best possession players on the game and could play on the powerplay. He's doing great on a shitty Devils team with a shitty system. He also would bring in a veteran presence, and I think the fact that it is Jagr and he'd be back would be a big push for the guys on the team to win it for him. Whether or not that all would translate into a Cup, you can't tell.

well shit parise

I'm literally laughing at Jagr with the Flyers.
