Dan’s Daily Links: Arbitration, Dumba, Jagr’s Comeback, and Breadman Leaveth

Jaromir Jagr is the gift which keeps on giving. The living legend is finally realizing that hamstrings which are 46-years-old don’t function like they did in 1991. Still, is there anyone who doesn’t want to see Jagr on the ice, in Europe or the NHL, next season? Also in the links, the Minnesota Wild inked Matt Dumba to big money, and Artemi Panarin is breaking up with the Columbus Blue Jackets, but they’re still writing love letters…
