My friend refuses 5× bigger salary, flat, car and a virtual job for his wife, because his company wanted to send him to some strange part of Russia to build a new factory. In fact they can't get anybody to go there and they are trying to get someone for 3 years now.

If there's some chemistry expert with lots of working experience and ability to actually run a big factory, let me know.

If Jagr stays in the NHL that just proves that the pussy in Russia is a little too cold for his liking.

Here is some more speculation on the Jagr situation, albeit from Larry Brooks.

FOX Sports on MSN - NHL -

Quote:
For while No. 68's agent, Pat Brisson, told The New York Post yesterday that Jagr would prefer to sign a new contract with the Rangers in lieu of reaching unrestricted free agency on Tuesday, he made it clear the winger is seeking a multi-year deal GM Glen Sather doesn't seem willing to offer.

Here's something to consider: Doesn't anybody remember Jagr saying what his number 68 stands for?

1968.

You really think he wants to go to Russia?

Miss by a mile, buddy, if you think that would be a reason to turn down offer from AVANGARD OMSK.

Why don't you tell me, where was Jagr playing during the lockout?
