At the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, the Tampa Bay Lightning selected Issac Howard with their 31st overall pick and the Sportsnet panel brought attention to Howard's outfit for the draft, claiming that he looked like he was taking a piece of out Auston Matthews collection.
Jagr started to take some heat on social media for his comment so quickly commented again saying he wasn't trying to insult Howard, but was talking from his own experience. He also added that the kid is going to be a great player.
