Montreal Canadiens: Ales Hemsky Nixes a Potential Jaromir Jagr Signing

#JagrWatch has been an interesting development over the summer. At first it was kind of funny, but it’s September and Jaromir Jagr still doesn’t have a contract. For a long time, there have been many Montreal Canadiens fans who have voiced their desire to have the legend on the team.

Jagr may not have the speed to keep up with the top talent, but he still has the skill and the sense to produce in the NHL. He can set up plays and put goals in himself. Defence was an issue for him in his later years in Florida, but you have to keep in mind that he was playing on the first line.
