I would give him a PTO if the kids are ready no harm no foul.. I see Jagr as a bit of a distraction. Not his fault, nothing negative but he is a legend in the hockey world. Jagr is still good enough to play but he's not 1990's Jagr. The Cup run of 2013 is an example, he played with Krejci for a bit, Krejci was force feeding him passes because he was playing on a line with a boyhood idol and the best player the Czech republic ever produced, it didn't work. Jagr moved to the Bergeron line, he was good but wasn't a fit and he had 0 goals. I've never been a big Seguin fan but taking him off the Bergeron line early in round one and not letting him back the entire playoffs probably cost us a second cup. Thanks Claude or Peter, whomever was responsible. Back to Jagr, if we sign him and he plays his way up to the top six then I call it a mistake. It's easy to slide a vet in a kids spot when your desperate for wins but long term it's better to ride it out with the kids until they learn.

Not a fan of his constant whining .. Phil's always been emotional but honest and more than a little bitter. Maybe he had good reason but it's no way to live your entire life when he had so much to be thankful for.

My idea is just to bring him in to make camp even more competitive for the Kids ..

Eddie Olczyk has colon cancer And Bryan Murray lost his battle with cancer today. Age 74, he was a good man from everything I've seen and heard.

I have been hard on Rask at times but he should be in the top ten easily..

I get on Tuuka a lot when he is playing average but only because when he is at his best he is as good as Price, Murray, Holty or whoever. IMO he takes a backseat to nobody on that list. Price gets a lot of cred for being the man on a stacked Team Canada but what's he really done with the Habs in the playoffs? A lot of these goalies get a lot of props for short sample sizes of work, what's Bishop done? Murray gets big props from me for his back to back cups on a team that has a ragtag D. Crawford and Quick get props for the Cups but are/were playing on strong teams but I wouldn't put either of them ahead of Tuuka. Holtby has been playing for a Cup favorite for a bunch of years but no cup. I do think Holtby is in the top 5 though. I've always felt Henrik Lundqvist was a bit overrated and I feel Tuuka is better but I'm biased for sure. To Talbot, Jones and Duby, just no, get some more successful seasons in before you are ranked in front of Rask.
