It’s no secret that the New Jersey Devils are in total disarray.

The team recently fired head coach Pete DeBoer and replaced him with the three-headed coaching monster of GM Lou Lamoriello, Adam Oates and Scott Stevens. They have the oldest roster in the game to go along with a dismal 13-18-7 record, placing them 25th in the league.

As a result, trade speculation surrounding the team has become daily conversation, as other GMs across the game are circling like vultures looking to pick off whatever talent they can when the time is right.

And at the top of the list is the Ageless One himself, Jaromir Jagr. Could the Bruins be interested in bringing in Jags for another go-round?

Tim Rosenthal of Bruins Daily tackles the question:



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.

Jagr told reporters the other day that he is open to being dealt off the Devils if it means New Jersey can get something useful in exchange for shipping him to a team in the playoff race. The 42-year-old Jagr has posted 6-15-21 totals in 37 games played this season. Last year, Jagr played all 82 games and led the Devils in scoring with 67 points (24 goals, 43 assists).

Yay or nay, B’s fans: would you like to see the Bruins take another shot at The Jagr?
