Jagr #1 Goodbye this Off-Season

Justin Dickie at The Hockey News gives his Top 10 "Off-season Goodbyes" which includes two Rangers...

4. Martin Straka
Straka was one of the NHL’s most underrated scorers of the past 10 years and, if not for a number of injuries, he likely would have seen 300 goals and 800 points. Nevertheless, the 35-year-old will provide his offensive instincts to HC Lasselsberger Plzen of the Czech League next season.

1. Jaromir Jagr
Jagr played his best hockey alongside Mario Lemieux and the mullet didn’t hurt, either. He finished his career one point shy of 1,600 while collecting five Art Ross trophies, a Hart Trophy, two Lester B. Pearson trophies, two Stanley Cups, five 100-point seasons and three 50-goal seasons along the way. To emphasize Jagr’s dominance over the game, the 71 points he totaled in 2007-08 was his worst output since his 70-point, 48-game, lockout-shortened 1994-95 season. Jagr will suit up for Avangard Omsk in 2008-09.
