The latest news on NHL.com is that Jagr's agent is talking to three teams about a deal with Jagr: Pittsburgh, Detroit and Montreal. Pittsburgh and Detroit make sense to me, but Montreal?
Pittsburgh seems to be the most logical landing spot, especially with the comments made by Jagr's agent Peter Svoboda, "This is obviously a tough decision for Jaromir. His heart is in Pittsburgh."
Penguins GM Ray Shero is equally as interested, and made the following comments: "He was an icon in Pittsburgh. We'd like to see him finish his career here."
So what's the stumbling block in getting a deal done? Jagr's heart is apparently in Pittsburgh, and the Penguins definitely want him. The Penguins have reportedly offered Jagr a one-year deal for $2 million, so is it money? Jagr has made more money than any other professional hockey player in history, with earnings over $100 million in his pro career.
I know it's a business, but at some point does a player not just go with his heart? $2 million is decent money for Jagr. Is he going to get substantially more from the Wings, Habs or any other team? And does he really want to play somewhere else? We will soon find out!
