Game changer no, I never suggested that anyway, what I do know is Drouin + Jagr would easily make up the production of Radulov, so there is a production upgrade there to be happy about if they were in the lineup. Also Markov's loss on the back end would be non existent and our D core could slot back in to the spots they belong in, and the small upgrades made at various positions there could remain as such because Markov being gone isn't forcing a 1 step forward 2 steps back scenario on our D. That, as a whole, is bit of a game changer, at the very least it would have ensured us of an upgraded roster on paper, and Like i said I could get behind that. In context, We were talking about early July, there is no way Jagr coming off a 46 point season takes less than 3 mill for 1 year in the opening days of July. While you are right to a certain extent, we could fit both under the cap, Is there really a point to signing Hemsky just to play on the 4th line? Our RW situation would get weird, Drouin replacing Radulov as the top RW, followed by Jagr and Gallagher and Hemsky. I am not sure Hemsky would enjoy the role nor do I think it necessary to acquire him if he is not a top 9 RW for the team.
