Jagr Watch 2011

KuklasKorner : The Malik Report : Czech reports: Jagr says no to Pittsburgh??? Svoboda says his client’s disappeared

The drama continues!

James Neal is NOT a complimentary player no matter what his contract is. He's a legit goal scorer. Shero has done a very good job putting the team together. Granted the main pieces were already in place before he got the job. I don't think Jagr is worth 2 million. If another team gives him more then it's their mistake.

When your star centers are Crosby and Malkin, yes he is a complimentary player. More of a long term option, sure (and he should get invited into the core). A hugely skilled guy, but he's complimentary.

Please either 1) defend your Fleischmann talk regarding the points I offered or 2) Offer another two million dollar player that could have a similar impact. Actually a better impact.

This has gotten very bizarre.

I'm losing hope that he's coming here. But seriously, he'd be enemy #1 in the Burgh if he goes somewhere else.

I'd be sad if he didn't sign here, but I would stand and clap for him when he came to Consol.

The PensBlog just did the funniest thing I've ever heard. So, they got Jags' agent's phone number, called it, GOT HIM ON THE PHONE, pretended to be Ron Cook from the Gazette and asked for an update. He then scolded them because of the hour it was and said there would be no update on the situation tonight. THEY GOT HIM ON THE PHONE.

This all happened on Ustream...live for all to hear.

 

[pixburgher66]

This has seriously become straight up ridiculous. The Pensblog may get into a lot of trouble. I'm sort of worried for them.

 

[ELYEAH82]

So his agent is saying someone is going to give him 4 mil?

It's hilarious, too!! I love that site

Man, Svoda angry with Jory Rand (another Pittsburgh sports caster). Hahahah, this is just ridiculous.

What the hell does he expect? If you give the press information that an announcement will be made on Wednesday, June 29th and it's getting close to closing time for the day.. i mean, WTF?


Edit: as for the Pens blog... that might not have been a good idea

 

[pixburgher66]

I don't think that they hurt anyone's chances. They might've gotten themselves in a lot of trouble. This day is just...wow.

I can't stop laughing about that, though They shouldn't have done that, but DAMN was that funny

 

[pixburgher66]

The PensNation show makes a good point, he could've EASILY made a decision, told the respective team, and that's it. Not like the Pens will release that info this late anyway.

 

[dash]

Of course, Jagr could be doing all this just to get more money from a team in the KHL...

I had my headphones in and was sitting in my living room while my parents watched TV, and I just cracccccked up. I tried explaining it to them, but they just didn't get it. Hahahah

Ugh...lets not go there. I'd hope if he flew here (if he flew here) that that wouldn't be the case. NOW I HAVE TO GET UP EARLY AGAIN!

Penguins GM Ray Shero told NHL.com in a text message late Wednesday that he had not yet heard from Jagr's camp, either.

"No word from them," he wrote. "We are working on signing our own players. (Craig) Adams and (Pascal) Dupuis are done. Working on (Tyler) Kennedy and (Arron) Asham."
