When Jaromir Jagr came to Boston at the 2013 trade deadline, Bruins fans were hoping to see the legendary forward bring some spark to the Bruins’ offense, which had been in the middle of the pack before his arrival. Jagr showed flashes of brillance, but in the end he was snakebitten and only slightly improved the Black and Gold after notching 10 points (all assists) during their run to their second Stanley Cup Final in three years.

During the summer of 2013, the Bruins opted to part ways with Jagr and replaced him with Jarome Iginla. But after the former Calgary Flames captain departed in July for the Colorado Avalanche, the B’s have been looking for that first line right winger to play with David Krejci and Milan Lucic (when both are healthy).

Would Jaromir Jagr be the answer this time around? If so, maybe Peter Chiarelli should pull the trigger on acquiring the 42-year old sooner, rather than later.

Jagr, who spent the last year and a half with the New Jersey Devils, is open to go elsewhere in pursuit for one last chance at a Stanley Cup.

“I have no problem with anything,” Jagr said to Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Penguins’ beat writer Josh Yohe (stick tap to Ian McLaren of The Score). “It’s up to [Devils General Manager] Lou [Lamorillo]. He knows me. I know him. I’ve got no problem with [being traded]. If he wants to move me, he will. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t. He knows that I like it here, but it’s all about what is best for the team.”

At this rate, the Devils may opt to trading away their veterans and start from scratch. With 37 points, New Jersey sits in seventh place in the Metropolitan Division and are nine points behind the New York Rangers for the last wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. Moreover, the team fired coach Peter DeBorer the day after Christmas and former Bruin Adam Oates and Scott Stevens are sharing duties as the head man behind the bench for the time being.

After a 67 point season a year ago (24 goals, 43 assists), Jagr is not having the same type of success in Newark this time around with just 21 points (6 goals, 15 assists) in 37 games. Still, the right winger can produce in a top-6 or top-9 role.

Jagr’s cap hit for the 2014-15 season is $3.5 million. Compared to some of the other rumored names on the trade block like Taylor Hall ($6 million), Chris Stewart ($4.15 million) and TJ Oshie ($4.175 million) – to name a few – that cap hit is a little more reasonable for Chiarelli, who would still have to clear space to acquire the Czech-born forward as the B’s have just $966,750 of cap space according to Cap Geek.

Even after their impressive win over the Red Wings on Monday night, any added goal scoring would be a welcome sight for the Black and Gold. Although there are better options from a talent standpoint, a Jagr reunion would not be a bad thing for the 2014-15 Boston Bruins.
