Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli announced tonight that the Bruins have acquired veteran forward Jaromir Jagr from the Dallas Stars for forward Lane MacDermid, the rights to unsigned draft pick Cody Payne and a conditional second round draft pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. The 2013 second round pick will become a 2013 first round pick if the Bruins advance to the Eastern Conference finals during the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

This season with the Dallas Stars, Jagr has played 34 games, scored 14 goals, has 12 assists, totaling 26 points. He has 6 power-play goals and a 16% shooting percentage.

So where will Jagr play in the Bruins lineup? Maybe with fellow Czech David Krejci? Jagr plays right wing and Nathan Horton is hot right now so it's going to be a tough decision to make for Claude Julien.

The two-time Stanley Cup Champion (Pittsburgh, 1991, 1992) has skated in a total of 1,380 NHL games (37th NHL all-time), notching 679 goals (10th NHL all-time) and 1,000 assists (12th NHL all-time). His career 1,679 points rank eighth on the NHL’s all-time list. Jagr has been named the Art Ross Trophy winner five times in his career (1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001) and has been selected to the NHL All-Star game on 12 occasions (1992-1994, 1996-2004).

In his 18-year NHL career with Pittsburgh, Washington, New York Rangers, Philadelphia and Dallas, Jagr has never earned a sub-50 point campaign and has the most 50-plus-point seasons in that time span. Jagr notched 15-straight 70+ point seasons from 1992 to 2008, which is an NHL record.
