that said, don't know that Jagr/JM would have worked out.
but i do recall how several posters were quite confident that Jagr wouldn't be effective in the NHL at his age and being gone 2 years... don't know how they came to that conclusion, but boy does he ever look good for Philly these days.

i thought he would do ok, but not
that good...
jagr probably would not have been the best fit with JM and the team's emphasis on speed (although **** me i wished we would have tried), but lets be honest, he comes here, his production drops by more than half and everybody calls him a bum
