from Larry Brooks at the NY Post,
Jaromir Jagr’s contract no longer contains a team option for next season, meaning that the current agreement under which he would earn $8.36M for 2008-09 will be extended only if he hits the performance triggers included in the deal, The Post has learned.
That means that unless Jagr scores 40 goals or records 84 points while the Rangers win a playoff round in April, or unless he wins the Hart Trophy, Art Ross Trophy or Conn Smythe Trophy, a) No. 68 will be eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1; and, b) beginning next season the Blueshirts will no longer be entitled to any cap discount on their captain.

Heh. This exclusive information that Brooks recently learned has been discussed all off-season by Caps bloggers. Coincidentally I’m sure, the Peerless Prognosticator posted about it yesterday: http://peerlessprognosticator.blogspot.com/2007/11/jagr-watch-option-year.html . We Caps fans are anxious to be rid of the portion of his salary that Washington still pays and so would be happy to see the option fail to take effect.

Meanwhile, we Rangers fans (or at least this Ranger fan) are hoping the option does kick in, and the Caps keep picking up half the tab!
