Sam Weinman at The Rangers Report says that the Rangers and Jaromir Jagr's representatives continue to talk "with length of a contract and bonus clauses presumably being a major part of the conversation." Weinman also says that Sundin is in Sweden which means it doesn’t sound like the Rangers have an elaborate recruiting trip planned for the free agent center anytime soon and that Sundin "is still contemplating his future, and might not make a decision one way or the other for some time."...so basically we know nothing. Just kidding Sam great job reporting as always.
Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports that the Rangers may have problems signing Jagr and Sundin to incentive laden contracts because this is the fourth year of the CBA and no performance bonus "cushions" or overage to next season are permitted.
Bob McKenzie at TSN has more on this significant part of the CBA.
***UPDATE*** Steve Zipay at Blue Notes is now saying "contrary to TSN's assessment, performance bonuses are allowed. That lack of a CBA provision is not pertinent."
