Jagr to Edmonton?

David Staples at the Edmonton Journal reports...

"A source close to Czech hockey ace Jaromir Jagr says that Jagr is close to finalizing negotiations with the Edmonton Oilers, reports Euro-hockey expert Peter Adler.

The source would not say when Jagr would report to Edmonton, how much he would be paid, or how long he would sign for. Jagr is now playing with Omsk in the financially-troubled Kontinental Hockey League. "

However, TSN says that the Oilers are denying the report.

Jagr would have to clear through waivers before Edmonton could sign him and it has been reported that Jagr has a no-out clause for the first two years of his contract with Omsk.

...when did Eklund start working at the Edmonton Journal?
