Report: Jagr signs with Devils

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

The New Jersey Devils reportedly have signed one of the more coveted unrestricted free agents remaining on the market, with ESPN.com reporting Monday that the team has signed veteran right wing Jaromir Jagr to a one-year contract.
According to the ESPN report, the deal will officially be announced Tuesday.
Jagr split last season with the Dallas Stars and Boston Bruins, totaling 16 goals and 19 assists in 45 games, while averaging 18:20 of ice time. He had 10 points -- all assists -- in 22 Stanley Cup Playoff games with the Bruins.
Even at age 41, Jagr remains a valuable asset to any team seeking a big body with some scoring touch. The Devils certainly are in need of a power forward-type, following the losses of Ilya Kovalchuk to retirement and David Clarkson to the Toronto Maple Leafs during free agency.
Jagr has 681 goals and 1,688 points in 1,391 regular-season games spanning 19 seasons with six different clubs.

I love Jagr, but Devils are signing ancients

You'd think he'd want to win.

That's what I'm saying...he's going to a team where he just might be the best scoring option.
