Local and international media are reporting that Jagr will be paid $35
million for 2 years. There is also reportedly an option for a third season.

I'm not sure how someone can say he's not worth that much in a league
outside the NHL. He may be worth 10x that to the entire league if it gives
them the exposure they want.

Again I ask, what the different between maybe $60 million in career
earnings to $70-$75 million? $15 million is a fortune to you and me, it
gets lost in the shuffle for them.

That's sounds a bit like the North American soccer leagues signing the
like of Pele, George Best, Beckham and current rumours of Ronaldhino.
