Jagr wanted the trade and the Pens wanted to trade him to free up $10.1 million per year in salary. Theyd have liked to have kept him but $20.2 mill in 2 years lets you re-sign all your key players and maybe even get some good veterans as free agents.

Jagr is saying the stuff about making the pens play because he wants to prove he IS the best player in the world and as long as hes on a team with Mario he will ALWAYS be in Marios shadow. And hes trying to sound like a team player with the Caps. Now Jagr has the chance to prove he can win a Cup without Mario sending him crisp passes. My guess is Jagr wont win the cup with the Caps. But hey think of all the Jagr jerseys the Caps will sell..... its gonna be a marketing bonanza.
