Question

Was losing jagr a smart thing to do even though they replaced him with naslund having both would be awesome?

Answer 1

they love to throw money around, but jagr wanted to go to Russia for maximum money. The rangers need to tear that team up and start from scratch with young kids. theyve always been too old and very overpaid.

Answer 2

I'd say it was the right thing, even if they had a choice.  I'm a Devils fan and always thought Jagr was overrated, and I was actually hoping the Devils would pick up Naslund.  Definitely the right move, although I think I might rather have Shanahan instead.

Answer 3

Losing Jagr was not their desicion, jagr desided he would be better off in the Russian Super League. It wasn't their choice.

Answer 4

they couldnt afford both and jagr would have slowed down the fast paced game they want to play. They are better off without him.

Answer 5

you werent going to get both Naslund Jagr together...it was too much of a cap hit...also with Zherdev in the mix it wasnt happening....

Jagr is way past his prime....good riddance....

Answer 6

yah i'll leave that one to you. new york kinda needs jagr

Answer 7

Yes. He wanted way too much money and wouldn't give them  a decision, so they said s***w him. Plus, look at last season; Jagr performed well at the beginning of the season, but nearing the end, his performance declined dramatically. Only when the playoffs (and time to think about who to re-sign) came along, he stepped it up. I wouldn't want someone like that on my team, especially for such a high price! Also, he's getting up there in age, how much longer could they keep him? More trouble than he's worth, I'd say.

Answer 8

jagrs a ***** and is past his prime

it was the right move
