from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Should the Rangers advance to the Stanley Cup Final, a select number of members of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Assn., including those of us who cover the team throughout the season, would be thrust into a conflict of interest, for the final step in triggering the automatic one-year extension at $8.36M (with a cap hit of $4.94M) is Jagr winning the Conn Smythe Trophy.
A select number of writers votes for the Conn Smythe Trophy.
Thus, as it now stands, we have it in our power to determine whether Jagr remains under contract to the Rangers or becomes eligible for unrestricted free agency. As it stands now, we will have more of a say than Glen Sather, Tom Renney, Jim Dolan and Aaron Ward.

The premise of this article makes sense, except for the fact that the Rangers have yet to make it out of the first round so it is premature to worry about Jagr being the Conn Smythe winner. Then again Brooks is still carrying a torch for Jagr losing the Hart Trophy to “not good enough for Boston, but the best in the league in San Jose” Joe Thornton.
