not as good as Jagr tho

No. But Lindros was PPG in the deadpuck era. Jagr dominated in the don't touch era that was 58 minutes of PPs each game.

Again, I dont think this team lacks the offense that Jagr would bring. It would be like adding Lundqvist. Sure, that's great, but does that improve the overall team success?

i think Graves, Messier and Jagr were the easiest choices.

I think they have enough Graves in them already. Messier would be great, but not sure his leadership (and poor skating) would fit well with this club. Jagr.. again, would love it, not sure he makes them better in areas they are weak.

Picked big E over Messier due to size, skill, speed. Lindros in the modern NHL would be unstoppable, especially since you cant hit guys with their head down.

Can't lose with either of those 3, I hear ya Josh.  I thought Mess was a pretty good skater though.  Graves made me think twice because he was the essential power forward...but this roster has Blais and also Goodrow, who play that role, like you said.

Lindros was a beast with the Legion of Doom in Philly.  Him Renberg, and LeClair were an absolute force....not sure if you remember those guys, but I used to shit myself when we played the Flyers during that span.

My idea is anyone that pots 50 FOR THE RANGERS would be a great fit here. Imagine Jags on the rw instead of a Kakko. 
 

we do have the grit part of Graves already, just minus the 30-50 yearly goals that’s associated with it.

It would look like Jagr on the RW of Gomez.

Now the top line is Goodrow - Rooney - Jagr.

[josh]

Kakko - Chytil - Jagr would be the Rap line. Just big asses everywhere.

As they said in Rudy, you have to play to be considered part of the team. Technically this line has 2 former Rangers.

Panarin Strome Jagr the PJs line. Nighty night opposition 

[Ozzy]

How about:

Howden-Chytil-Kravtsov....The IM-Perfect Line!!  LOL

I dont see that line clicking. I could see Strome clicking with Jagr in  Straka - fasion, but not enough pucks for Jagr and Panarin. God, they'd just do cross ice passes to eachother the entire game. The return of "SHOOOOOOOTTTTTT!!!!!"

[Sharpshooter]

Kravtsov and Zherdev on a 'Quitters' line.

Quite possibly by Jags definitely shoots. Had over 1000 shots in his 4 years with the Rangers.

It was why he left the Rangers right? It was basically he and Sather going at it over a new contract, and he just skedaddled. 

[RJWantsTheCup]

In their Rangers prime I would have to say Messier, but I could easily say Jagr too.

[Morphinity 2.0]

Pavel Bure

I think people (myself included) forget just how good he was for the Rangers. Imagine a line of Panarin - Strome - Bure?

Pavel Bure was so good here. It's a shame his knees didn't cooperate.
