Springtime for Jagr
Jaromir Jagr finally gets to show whether Ted Leonsis' $11 million per year deal for him to join the Washington Capitals last season makes sense. Jagr is a tremendous player, with a flair for improvization, speed and superb strength. Yet with the mediocre supporting cast around him there's little chance of the Caps progressing far in the playoffs, where they are seeded 6th in the Eastern Conference.
Jagr is "the best scoring threat the Caps have," but that's not going to be enough without much, much more.
