New York Islanders Youth Benefits From Jaromir Jagr’s Experience

Jaromir Jagr was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins with the fifth overall pick in the 1990 NHL draft. He made his NHL debut on October 5, 1990. As the New York Islanders‘ roster currently sits, they have 13 players born AFTER Jagr’s debut!

Needless to say, Jaromir Jagr is an experienced NHL veteran. The Isles have a young team and could learn a lot from one of the greatest players of all time. After all, the only player in the history of the NHL with more points than Jagr is The Great One, Wayne Gretzky.
