Dellapina has confirmed Sather did solicit offers last night
I spoke with several Western Conference executives over the weekend who had yet to hear a word about Jagr being available. But somebody whose work I trust said that Sather did throw it out there last night.
Trouble is -- as anybody who has covered Sather or tried to make a trade with him can attest -- the Rangers' GM loves to throw provocative bait in the water just to see what he can stir up.
Do I believe the Rangers will have to think long and hard about whether Jagr can be their centerpiece going forward? Absolutely. I also believe he isn't impossible to trade since the Caps' obligation to pay nearly half his salary would remain even if he were dealt.
