Jaromir Jagr (http://www.sportingnews.com/nhl/player/35/jaromir-jagr) has agreed to a one-year deal with the New Jersey Devils (http://www.sportingnews.com/nhl/team/11/new-jersey-devils), according to ESPN.com’s Pierre LeBrun (https://twitter.com/Real_ESPNLeBrun/status/359329077045366785). The Devils will be the 41-year-old forward’s fourth team in three seasons. The deal is expected to be made official on Tuesday.
New Jersey will be hoping that the veteran forward can replace some of the playmaking the team lost when Ilya Kovalchuk decided to retire from the NHL to head home to Russia (http://www.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2013-07-11/ilya-kovlchuk-retirement-trade-nj-devils-atlanta-thrashers%20) to play in the Kontinental Hockey League. http://www.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2013-07-22/jaromir-jagr-devils-ilya-kovalchuk-retirement-penguins-flyers-rangers

Jagr has one move left... Turn his back to defender and stick his ass out... When defender shades to one hip, turn the other way.

But it keeps the puck for his team. I suppose you could always dump it in to the corner and not go get it. Doesn't seem to work out too well though.

Bull****.

You are right. He had a bad 2 months. He must be terrible. I'm not saying he is Jagr from 10 years ago but some teams still value puck possession.
