The New York Rangers are on the verge of acquiring sniper Jaromir Jagr from the Washington Capitals, according to reports out of New York.
But it hasn't happened yet. Speculation ran wild when Jagr left the Capitals game against Buffalo on Wednesday, but Washington GM George McPhee told TSN that Jagr has a strained groin - not a new address.
Earlier in the day, The Post reported Jagr has told two longtime confidantes that a deal to send him to the Rangers is near completion, if not already done. The newspaper also quotes unnamed sources who say talks between the Rangers and Capitals have heated up the past two weeks.
Washington has reportedly agreed to pay $20-million of the $45-million guaranteed on Jagr's contract starting next year as part of the deal. There's no word yet on which players the Capitals would receive in the transaction.
The Rangers are said to be hedging on the deal due to the uncertain nature of what a new collective bargaining agreement will mean to the financial landscape of the NHL.
However, the Rangers may have some competition in the Jagr sweepstakes as the Detroit Red Wings have now jumped into the mix. The Post says general manager Ken Holland has at least indicated an interest in a deal for Jagr. According to TSN's sources, however, Detroit is not in the running.
After starting the season with five points in his first 11 games, Jagr has snapped out of his slump, registering 15 points in the last 10 games.
As if the Rangers need anymore over paid players on thier roster , although i'm not even sure Jagr fits in with the teams
avg. age group , i may be wrong lol
anyways , i hope he don't go there but if he dose , that just means more games for "Bundy" aka Therien to shut him down in
