At age 41, the legendary Czech continues to defy logic. He was leading the Stars in scoring with 14 goals and 12 assists totaling 26 points in 34 games. Jagr also led them with six power play goals. An area he can aid the Bruins, who rank 24th in the league at 15.2 percent. Just ahead of his former team, the Rangers (14.3). 

Jagr recently hit a milestone by recording his 1,000th career assist in a 5-3 win over Minnesota on 3/29. For his illustrious career, No.68 is the all-time leading European scorer with 679 goals, 1,000 assists and 1,679 points over 1,380 games. He ranks eighth on the all-time scoring list. That’s despite missing four seasons (’04-05 lockout, ’08-09-’10-11 KHL). Ironically, he trails former Penguin linemate Mario Lemieux (1,723 points in 915 games) for seventh. He’s signed for the rest of 2013 earning $4.5 million. 

Now, Jagr joins his third team in the last year. It’ll be odd to see him in black and gold playing for the Bruins. He’ll join a talented group that features captain Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, Milan Lucic, David Krejci, Tyler Seguin, Brad Marchand, Tuukka Rask and rookie Dougie Hamilton. The Bruins are chasing a second Cup in three years. Jagr won his two Cups playing with Super Mario in Pittsburgh (’91 & ’92). He hasn’t reached the Conference Final since teaming with Lemieux to lead the Pens there in ’01. His final season there before a bitter divorce. 

Stars Move Roy To Vancouver: The Stars have been busy. They also dealt former Buffalo center Derek Roy to Vancouver for defense prospect Kevin Connauton and a second round pick. In his only year in Dallas, Roy had four goals and 18 assists for 22 points in 30 games. Traded for Steve Ott (5-13-18) in the off season, he joins his third team in a year.

The Canucks needed a second line pivot badly. Roy can help immensely. They’ve struggled offensively. They’re getting stiff competition from Minnesota for the Northwest. The Wild and Canucks are tied with 44 points but Minnesota leads the division due to having two more regulation/overtime wins and one game at hand. 

With Ryan Kesler out, Roy fills a void. Vancouver hasn’t been the same offensively since trading Cody Hodgson to Buffalo for Zach Kassian at last year’s deadline. Kassian got off to a fast start this season but hasn’t played since 3/19. He was sent down to AHL Chicago Sunday. Kassian has tallied five goals and three assists for eight points in 27 contests. Hodgson is 12-16-28 for the Sabres ranking second in scoring behind Thomas Vanek (16-17-33).
