Jager played very few games here, he showed up for the vast majority of his time as a Capital

Didn't Jagr apologise for his stint in DC?

as I recall, he acknowledged it, not really apologizing for it

Ovie sits at 730 Goals. He needs 165 goals to pass the Great One.
If he does indeed sign a 4 year deal, it is very possible he could surpass Gretzky by the end of it....
assuming he stays healthy...
and we don't have another pandemic...
I don't see him bringing home another Cup with this roster and the current cap problems. Unless Samsonov turns into Marty Broudeur or something, and Johnny Q Norris turns into...a Norris candidate...and McMichael comes up and more than blossoms in Kuzy's vacated spot.....etc, etc.
So....for Ovi....I think realistically as far as "career accomplishments" goes....it's Gretzky for the next four seasons.
For the record...Ovi is in 6th place at 730
Dionne with 731
Brett Hull 741
Jagr 766
Gordie 801
The Great One 894
If not for the flu shortened seasons... Ovi would have passed Dionne, Hull, and maybe Jagr already.
I expect Ovi will pass all three this season, and Gordie next.
Let's hope it tons of fun to watch, and not a "sacrifice of all else" to get there.
Go Ovi

just a point on that, no player has ever scored 800 goals with one team. Gretzgy played for three four teams, forgot about the Blues.
and according to the nhl, OV is one of two to score 700 goals with one team. Those two records most likely will never be broken.
