URGENT-HKY-Jagr-Russia:
Jagr signs with Russia's Avangard Omsk after being released by Rangers
MOSCOW - Russian club Avangard Omsk says it has signed Jaromir Jagr, a day after the New York Rangers parted ways with the star winger.
Avangard announced the signing on its website today but did not disclose the terms of the contract.
Jagr had long been reported to be considering lucrative offers from Russia. Rangers general manager Glen Sather said Thursday the club could not wait any longer for Jagr to decide where he wanted to play.
Jagr played for Avangard during the NHL's lockout season in 2004-05.
On Thursday, the Rangers signed former Vancouver captain Markus Naslund to replace Jagr.

No way Markus Naslund is replacing Jagr, in my humble opinion....
Moving on.
I can't tell you how refreshing it was to read the words of NBA'er Gilbert Arenas today. It took something this cool to get me talking about the N B A on the blog!! If every other athlete was so honest!! Read the story below:
Free agent Gilbert Arenas is taking one for the team. The three-time all-star point guard took less than the maximum available from the Washington Wizards on his six-year contract so the team can have more cap space. Arenas put the contract into perspective, telling The Washington Post -- ``What can I do for my family with 127 (m) million dollars that I can't do with 111 (m)
million?''
More later!
