?Jagr Watch?: Penguins, Jagr?s agent to meet, discuss contract

Hopefully this news from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review?s Josh Yohe will put to rest a saga that?s been overly dramatic for both Red Wings and Penguins fans to put up with over the past few weeks:

The Penguins will speak with Jaromir Jagr?s agent about a contract this afternoon. Petr Svoboda, Jagr?s agent, confirmed that he is set to have a meeting with Penguins general manager Ray Shero today.

?We are meeting this afternoon to talk about a deal,? Svoboda said. ?Hopefully by tomorrow, we will know something.?

Earlier today, the Penguins signed Pascal Dupuis to a two-year, $3 million deal. They have just under $7 million left under the salary cap for the upcoming season. The Penguins appear to be targeting Jagr, Tyler Kennedy and Mike Rupp as players they would like to sign.

As a Wings fan I just want to see this get over and done with?And Yohe confirms that Svoboda?s willing to admit that he?s received a solid contract offer from Wings GM Ken Holland?
