"He definitely still wants to play, and
there is some interest in him," Jagr's agent, Petr
Svoboda, told The Associated Press on Saturday. "I think
it's going to take some time, but you never know for sure because
there are three teams that are very interested." Svoboda
declined to tell the AP which teams are interested in signing Jagr,
the leading scorer among active NHL players. However, the agent told
TVA Sports there were discussions Friday with Montreal
Canadiens general manager Marc
Bergevin and "the interest is mutual, but the decision is
now up to the Canadiens."
Jagr, a five-time NHL scoring champion, returned
to the League in 2011-12 with the Philadelphia
Flyers after three seasons in Russia. He signed a $4.55 million,
one-year contract with the Dallas
Stars In July 2012. After Jagr had 14 goals and 26 points in 34
games for the Stars, Dallas dealt him to the Bruins near the NHL
Trade Deadline. Jagr had nine points in 11 regular-season games for
Boston and no goals and 10 assists in 22 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
The Bruins opted not to re-sign him.
