It's starting to sound like National Hockey League living legend Jaromir Jagr may be staying put, but nothing is certain just quite yet.

TSN  insider Pierre LeBrun has provided an update on the status of Jagr, and more specifically the status of his contract negotiations with the Florida Panthers, although nothing is done just quite yet.

"There remains ongoing dialogue between Jaromir Jagr's camp and the Florida Panthers," wrote LeBrun. "Slated to chat again this week. "

It sounds like the Florida Panthers are hesitating to complete the deal because they don't want to risk losing Jagr at the expansion draft. although whether or not Jagr will test free agency after that remains unclear. Again from LeBrun:

Obviously from a Panthers' perspective, makes total sense to wait until after the expansion draft to sign Jagr for protection list reasons.

LeBrun himself left some room for doubt, stating that a deal with Jagr was not a grantee even after the expansion draft.
