newjerseydamo Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Second and a third for him. Absolute steal considering he's been nothing short of crap since his ice time went down after change in coaches. Great trade by Lou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils11274 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Good for us to get some picks of quality for Jagr. Was a fan of his but hes old and slow. Need younger guys for next year and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDfan1711 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I feel like Lou is reading this message board. Everyone is very happy with him now lol. My thoughts: A 2nd is more than we could have hoped for, and kinda sad for Jagr because I don't think the Panthers are going to make the playoffs, but I have a lot of respect for him as a player after his time with us -- a lot more than I had for him before he joined us.

Daniel Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Guess I'll be the contrarian and say I was hoping for a prospect who could play relatively soon. For some reason I had it my head that he could be part of a deal to St. Louis for a player like Barbashev, but what do I know. Still, if Florida ends up missing the playoffs the second rounder is something like number 45, so perhaps there's some flexibility to move up in the first round to get a Marner or Strome.

Jerzey Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Good value coming back to us and I think it was a good move for Florida. I think they'll squeak into the playoffs but here's hoping they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I don't see that this is abandoning the playoff aspirations per se (thought it's not helping them either), as I really don't think this move helps Florida all that much. Jagr isn't going to be the piece that sends any team from bubble to playoffs. He's a nice depth piece at this stage in his career, but that's it.

Satans Hockey Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I've never been a fan of jagr. I know he played well for us last season and at times this year but just not a guy I've ever cared for. Here's hoping to Florida losing as many games as possible.

coldply123 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Jagr probably thinks he can get a new deal there or at least a camp invite. He also apparently refused to go to the Western Conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Makes it obvious we aren't fooling ourselves with #TeamMiracle any more -- trading him to someone between us and the playoffs. Suck on that, SD. I'm excited, I'll be pulling for the Cats to make the playoffs as I'd love to go see some playoff hockey. I understand that cause of locale but man I'd rather have them miss and get another top 50 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldply123 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 He should still push to move Ryder if he can and convince Zidlicky to waive his NTC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Good deal. I would've taken a second round pick only (from one of the upper teams too) and we just got that and a 3rd from a mid-table team. I'll TAKE IT. I'll be rooting for Florida to make it.

Louismydad Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 He should still push to move Ryder if he can and convince Zidlicky to waive his NTC. Ryder wont bring anything good back, hes better off filling the gap at right wing cause we have none. plus with him in the top 6 we might get mcdavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I've been very pessimistic that Lou wouldn't know when to sell but this is an absolutely great trade. I was hoping for a late 3rd. Getting a mid second this year and a 3rd next year is fantastic. Hopefully he can still move Zidlicky for at least a 2nd. I keep seeing it referenced here that Zidlicky is doubtful to waive his no trade. Has he actually been documented as saying that? Does Jagr moving on help change his mind now that it appears we won't be doing everything possible to slip into the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Loved Jagr here but since the coaching change it just wasn't working anymore. I am quite shocked we got that much for him. Have to hand it to Lou for a good move on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he actually been documented as saying that? Does Jagr moving on help change his mind now that it appears we won't be doing everything possible to slip into the playoffs? Thing is with this perspective, is you're assuming that it matters that much to Zidlicky. He may be content where he is and not want to move just to win. Apparently, he was quoted or it was rumored or something or another that he wasn't interested in waiving it. I don't think there is a direct quote, but Im not sure. There is reasoning behind some stating it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Lou said the offer from Florida was too good to pass up. So its possible that he simply accepted a deal that any GM in his situation would have took anyway. Let's not assume too quickly that he's in God mode with that "steal" lol It's definitely a step in the right direction though curious to see how the rest is gonna pan out. hoping things go well for Jagr in florida but i really hope they miss the playoffs Edited February 26, 2015 by SterioDesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 They didnt waste any time Feel bad for the guy who is going to buy that terrible, rushed heat-pressed job and discover in 2 weeks the letters peeling off the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
