New York Rangers Blueshirt Beat, 6/3/17: Jaromir Jagr Return, Expansion Draft Concerns

[sc name=”NHL Video” ]

A discussion about a possible Jaromir Jagr return and what the New York Rangers should do prior to the expansion draft is included.

Can you actually believe it’s almost been 10 years since Jaromir Jagr suited up for the New York Rangers? [sc name=”Rangers Center Right” ]

That’s right. The last time Jagr threw on the Broadway Blue was during the 2007-08 season. During that particular year, he suited up for all 82 regular season games and tallied 25 goals and 46 assists. In the playoffs, he added five goals and 10 assists in just 10 games played.

At 36-years of age, we thought his hockey career was winding down.

Well, he’s now 45 and still going strong.

ESNY’s Daniel Federico recently pondered whether Jeff Gorton should look at re-signing the veteran sure-fire Hockey Hall of Fame forward.
