Jagr Signs with Pittsburgh

who is your source? The pens pulled their offered because jagr is playing mind games and drawing in other teams that are interested. As a pens fan I know jagr was and always will be about money first and nothing else.

Jaromir Jagr is heading back to Pennsylvania but it won't be with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Instead, the veteran forward has agreed to a free-agent deal with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Jagr has spent the last three seasons playing in Russia and engaged in a long back-and-forth with NHL teams, including the Penguins.
However, Pittsburgh withdrew a $2-million US, one-year deal after growing tired of waiting for a response.
Jagr started his NHL career with the Penguins in 1990 and went on to put up 646 goals and 1,599 points in 1,273 career games.

Unreal. Jagr returns to Pittsburgh for one more run at glory. Crosby, Malkin and Jagr is gonna make one hell of a scary PP

Let's see if they put all three on a line, gonna be deadly. Pens gotta be cup favorites this year now.

Jagr is way too old, a couple of months and he will be worn down. How can they expect him to perform in the playoffs?

isn't jagr like a hundred years old?

From a creditable source a few years back, Jagr use to stay in the locker room during warmups at times to call in last minute bets, the guy is a huge degenerate. With that said, why a Russian of his stature would leave the KHL when you know he probably gets treated like a God while getting to live and play in his homeland, is beyond me. It wouldn't be a stretch to say Jagr probably pissed away all or a majority of his money from gambling and he needs to get back in the NHL.

the guy has played in the KHL the past couple seasons and has done well, how do you not expect him to do same in the NHL; the KHL is the second best league in the world and just a slight step below the NHL plus did you see with at the world championships, guy tore it up
