"He can teach me a lot. He's played in the NHL a long time and everyone knows how good he is. It's going to be fun to see how he is in practice and then play with him in games."

Along with Jagr in this transfer agency, another veteran Ray Whitney joined Stars’ side, which has also made Eriksson excited. The silver medallist of 2011 world championship also said,
"It's going to be interesting. We've got two older guys – Jagr and Whitney – coming in, plus Roy and the other guys. It looks good and it's going to be fun."
