Yeah, a couple of old fellas but if I'm a Stars fan, I'd really dig it... Pretty potent top 6 if you ask me;

Chris Nichols: #Stars lines potentially project as Whitney-Benn-Jagr/ Eriksson-Roy-Ryder with Morrow outside the top six. #justaguess

Jagr actually wanted to come to Canada: (from Sportsnet)

"I always wanted to play in Canada, and I wanted to go to Montreal if I had a chance," he said. "Montreal wasn't interested, and then all of a sudden, I got a call from (Stars general manager) Joe Nieuwendyk and I was very happy."

He has been talking about wanting to play in Canada for a few years - Jagr knows. So he signed in Dallas.

"Montreal wasn't interested" = "Dallas offered more"

Anaheim committed over 7mil against the cap for the next 3 years in Souray and Allen? Good grief, I mean I guess they had to spend but that just seems wrong.
