Why Jagr may end up a Devil
Shaky times for Russia's Kontinental Hockey League, reportedly due to the steep fall in the worldwide price of oil. Russian clubs have been known to pull guys out of the lineup and not honor deals (ex-Bruin Byron Dafoe learned the hard way). If it came down to Jaromir Jagr (now of Omsk Avangard) wanting back to the metro New York area, only the Devils would have the cap room for him.

So much for all those lucrative KHL deals. Wonder if any of the guys that bolted the NHL to go there are sweating balls now.

Give it a few months. Oil is not going to stay cheap. And if a team really wanted Jagr they could make the room for him. Also he could take less money, because less money is better than no money.

If that did happen (and that is assuming a lot) I think the Pens would try and make room for him.

Well stated cje. We are in a false sense of security with oil being 'so cheap'. I didn't realize that the Russian teams were that involved with the oil industry. I guess some of them are because of the ties with the Russian Mob.
Just an observation.

Frankly at this point in his career, Jags plays for freebies. There had been plenty of plays over his last 2 seasons in the NHL that he just quit on the play instead of being the difference maker. He doesn't play as hard as he used to, and frankly most teams are better off without him.

And they said Russia's Kontinental Hockey League is supposed to be a threat to the NHL? Dream on, komarades!
A few rogue players, wanna-bees and has-beens may put up with borsch and pierogies for a while in mother Russia but .... when all is said and done ..... there's nothing quite like the decadent West and playing in the NHL! Is there?
