The New York Daily News reports that Jaromir Jagr might be of a mind to scratch his itch to play in a city in which he "has been unabashed in his affection for..."
No, Caps fans, not Washington...no, Pens fans, not Pittsburgh.
Omsk
That's right, Omsk...the one in Siberia.
John Delapina reports for the Daily News...
We're guessing that option thing is dead.Next week, Jagr will get the chance to lay the groundwork for just such a return - or, at least, continue a dialogue that never has been interrupted - when he meets with Anatoly Bardin, the new general manager for Avangard-Omsk of the Russian Super League.
Bardin is flying to New York this weekend. And according to his team's Web site, "The main objective of the visit are the negotiations with the Czech forward Jaromir Jagr of the Rangers about his possible return to the 'Vanguard.'"

Good riddance.
20+ goals in all 17 of his NHL seasons. I can't blame Caps fans for being bitter towards JJ but he's probably the best European player ever.
It's just always going to be a shame his attitude and drive doesn't match his skill, who knows how much more he could have accomplished.
