Jockbio.com describes Jaromir Jagr as "the very definition of an NHL sharpshooter. When the puck is on his stick, he is aware of every twitch a goaltender makes, and every inch a defenseman is out of position. He can fire the puck through the slimmest openings, sometimes even anticipating holes that are a second or two away from developing."

The bio website adds, "Jaromir's defense has never been good, but he is an important man on the penalty kill because of his size, strength and ability to score shorthanded. He is murder on the power play; leading his team in power play goals almost every year... many fans appreciate his Original Six work ethic. He is never out of shape and rarely complains about injuries"

At the end of the year Jagr will be an unrestricted free agent. Boston.com reports he signed a $4.5 million deal with Boston.
