After the signing of Markus Naslund, Jagr saw the writing on the wall and took the three year deal worth over 30 million dollars to go play alongside Rangers top prospect Alexei Cherepanov in the KHL as a member of Avangard Omsk.
I have my hopes that Jagr passes along some great advice to Alexei, and talks to him about coming to New York sooner rather than later. At least I hope so anyway.
But I digress. Although being accused frequently of being a lazy primadonna, he has done nothing to show that. In his days as a New York Ranger, he has done nothing but give 100 percent on the ice, even going as far as playing through injuries for long stretches.
I will never forget his strength, skill, and imagination with the puck along with his patented wrister from the right circle right into the upper corner. I wish you nothing but the best Jags, and along with Shanny, I look forward to your day in the Hall of Fame. In tribute, you are my newest jersey purchase.
That is all for now from me. I will be writing more occasionally this offseason if a Rangers related thought pops into my mind. Please leave comments! I love to hear feedback!
