Serious Jagr Contract Negotiations to Start Next Week

John Dellapina at the Blueshirt Blog reports...

As for Jagr, serious negotiations on a new deal probably won’t begin until next week. With agents J.P. Barry and Pat Brisson here in Pittsburgh tending to client Sidney Crosby and Rangers GM Glen Sather tied up with scouting players at the NHL draft combine, the sides figure to be tied up the rest of this week.

“Jags is still property of the New York Rangers until July 1 and he is interested in exploring staying in New York,” Brisson said. “Slats has stated similar interest. And we are going to try to do something together. But we haven’t exchanged proposals or anything like that.”

...didn't Larry Brooks at The Post report negotiations were supposed to start last week? I can't believe that Brooks would have reported anything erroneous.
