from Stan Fischler at Game On,
Although the departures of Avery and Jagr, in particular, will disappoint a bloc of fans, the Maven sees only positives coming out of the transformation.
No matter how you shake it, Jagr was a questionable captain with a capital Q. This was evident when he turned down the leadership role after the lockout, only to eventually change his mind.
While he did have a strong home-stretch this past season, and a solid playoff, his performance in the first few months was far below what had been expected of his talents.
more on the NYR…
Update 11:22pm ET (Alanah): John Dellapina at the Blueshirts Blog has an interview with Jaromir Jagr tonight, reflecting on his time with the NYR.
