from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Slap Shots has learned that Jagr’s agent and Sather are expected to commence negotiations this week after preliminary discussions in which both sides exchanged words of love, if not vows of ‘til death do they part, at least not yet.
“Jags would like to stay, he doesn’t want to leave New York, and Slats has told me that he feels the same way,” Pat Brisson, who with J.P. Barry represents Jagr, said by phone on Friday night. “We’re going to begin to talk about a contract in the next week or so.
“Jags feels good about himself as a player and about what he and the Rangers can accomplish together.”

Unlike Jagr, those two have never been more than “supporting actors,” despite their “leading man” salaries.
Yeah, because there are so many high-scoring UFAs available this year. Really just Hossa, and if they’re worried about cap issues, there’s no way the Rangers are signing him. Getting an “accomplished sniper” through trades would mean giving up some young assets, and then Brooks would whine about the Rangers doing that.
