Jaromir Jagr Receiving Interest From Several Teams 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Aug 10, 2017 2:11 pm

Jaromir Jagr is receiving interest from a number of teams.

"The most serious negotiations I have are with Kladno. Because Kladno has a smart owner who knows what he wants," joked Jagr, who owns the team in Czech Republic's second-tier professional league. "No, really, I don't have a clue. I leave it all on my agent [Petr Svoboda]. There is a couple of [NHL] teams that showed interest, but nothing specific yet."

Jagr, 45, had 46 points in 82 games last season with the Panthers, who said they wouldn't re-sign him this offseason.

Jagr's 1,914 points are second in League history behind Wayne Gretzky (2,857), and at 1,711 NHL games, he trails Gordie Howe by 56 for most all-time.

"I'm not thinking about the total number of NHL games," Jagr said after an exhibition game to commemorate fellow Czech forward Martin Havlat's retirement. "It's true that when I got back to the NHL (in 2011), I told myself I would very much want to get to 2,000 [NHL] points. But it's still far away. I didn't expect it would be so hard to get a job in the NHL this year."
