Report: Jaromir Jagr Decision Coming Soon

For good or bad (depending on where you stand on the whole Jaromir Jagr thing), agent Petr Svoboda suggests we should know about Jagr's future within the next few days, according to Dave Molinari's reported in the Post-Gazette:
[Svoboda] said that Jagr still hasn't received a contract offer from the Penguins, but that "there is interest from both sides" and added that, "If you call me tomorrow, there will be much more happening."
I doubt it really has anything to do with it, but I can't help thinking in just the slightest bit that Ray Shero's disinterest in making a qualifying offer to Tyler Kennedy has something to do with this. Mind you this is pure speculation on my part. We've already read a few times now that there is allegedly some sort of split in the Penguins' front office with regards to bringing back Double-J. But if Jagr is looking for something in the two to three million range and Shero decided Kennedy wasn't worth the gamble, does he feel the same way about the former Pen?
Look on the bright side at least: whether you're dying for an answer or begging for all of this Jagr talk to cease, at least we'll have an answer soon.
...maybe.

Drafting two d-men and now not extending a qualifying offer to TK. I can’t help but think that Shero has something big in the works.

I think your reading a lot into nothing. Draft best talent. I don’t know all of the qualitfications about RFAs, but the way Rossi is reporting it, not offering Kennedy makes it less of a hassle to sign Kennedy.

Rossi on Twitter:
Hearing #Pens want keep Kennedy (multiyear), handshake with Jagr (1-year), ink Dupuis and/or Rupp; seek clarity on all by Friday #tribpens
Is it October yet?

regardless, i think we get similar production from either Jagr or Kennedy even strength, i think Jagr brings a little extra on the PP though, its all about the $$$, and if the price fits, Jagr for 1yr is more than likely the better deal
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend!
regardless of his age
i doubt you would see anything less then 30/30 from jagr.

If this does happen....
This is only going to make me, even more and more, want to hear those golden tones of John Barbero announcing…
“Pittsburgh Goal, his first of the season, scored by number 68, Jjjjjjjjaaaromir Jaaaaaaaaaggggggggrrrrrrrrr.”
I can hear it now.
I still just don’t like this new dude!

It's funny how
you look at Montreal news sites and they say Jagr wants to come to the Canadians, detroit sites say Detroit is where he wants to go etc…
There's an 87% chance this post is sarcasm...
Rossi on the latest...
Sounds like a nifty pass from Mario to Jagr in the slot…

Shero “wants Jagr to retire a Penguin.” Puck is now on 68’s stick. #jagrwatch #tribpens per @JoshYohe_Trib
