My word for word reaction upon reading where Jagr signed:

"... Dallas...???"

Pyatt signing means Fedotenko is gone.

Other then this year, he was a solid 1st line with intangibles. He also made Team Canada at the Olympics. I think Morrow is on the move. imo

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Great. Really like the Pyatt signing.

I can deal with that. Hoping for something like Rupp/asham-boyle-pyatt 4th line.

You would, but one of my closest friends from my time in Nashville spent a year in Dallas and would probably disagree with you.

I'm just saying... it's not about cosmopolitan. I just can't see Jagr in a cowboy hat at the rodeo.

[Brian Boyle]

Joe Haggerty had Jagr talking with the Stars earlier today, so I wasn't surprised with the move at all.

He wasn't that way this year because his age is beginning to catch up to him.

Morrow makes more sense on the 3rd line for dallas

You gotta love any analysis of a 33 year old that begins with "Well, besides last year...."

Yeah... he's morphing into Jamie Langenbrunner.

I have been to Dallas and Nashville. Dallas is WAY more cosmopolitan. Nashville has a nice music scene, but its not a big, multi national city. Dallas is.

Also cowboy hat?! Unless your talking West texas or Houston. Dallas is pretty much in the 21st century.

It was a joke... really. C'mon buddy. Jagr in Texas in general just strikes me as a little off.

Nashville is a very multi-national city, by the way. It's cosmopolitan-ness is just drowned by the music scene. I lived and worked there for 2 years. Lots of various ethnic pockets all over the place.

It's tough to compare Nashville and Dallas though. You're talking about cities of drastically different sizes.

Nashville is not multi-national. Your thinking ethnically diverse(most cities are that anyways). Nashville isn't a major inter national financial hub like Dallas is.

I misinterpreted what you meant... my bad.

[Parker McDonald]

Delete.

I was kind of hoping we'd get Jagr.

We still can at the trade deadline.

[n8]

it'd be fun if Selanne and Doan both signed with Winnepeg. You know, just for some NHL94 nostalgia. Although I can't imagine Teemu signing anywhere but Anaheim, he's one of those cagey old vets I wouldn't mind picking up either.

[Fitzy]

Guys, this is a free agency thread. Not a discussion on Texas.

The Rangers have now had two opportunities to sign Jagr, they don't want him back. Time to move on.

Dubinsky and Anisimov for top 6 LW and a 3rd/4th line C

Speaking of NHL 94, the only 3 players left are Jagr, Selanne, and Roman Hamrlik. Hard to believe so much time has passed.

[bmw2004]

When was a last time Rangers made a good trade? Gomez?
