Jaromir Jagr remains optimistic about the New Jersey Devils' chances of making the playoffs. "It's still in your hands," Jagr said. "You're going to face all the teams fighting for the playoffs. And in our division it's pretty much open. Even the second spot." The Devils are definitely still in the playoff race, although they do have an uphill battle ahead of them. More to the point is the fact that Jagr doesn't want to be traded and as long as the Devils still have a shot of making the playoffs, they are likely to be less inclined to trade him.
