The Living Legend Appears to Be in Trouble

Jagr has reportedly been in a tough negotiation with the Florida Panthers when it comes to a new contract, with the Panthers reportedly looking to get Jagr at a discount, while Jagr himself wants to maintain his current salary. As reported on Hockeyfeed earlier, According to Jagr a grand total of 0 National Hockey League teams have contacted him about signing him as a free agent this summer, indicating that the Panthers may be the only place for Jagr to play if he wants to remain in the NHL.

Top TSN insider Bob Mckenzie was asked while on Montreal’s TSN 690 on Friday morning if he’s buying that a player with Jagr’s resume “can’t get a job at the NHL.”

The veteran and well-respected insider totally destroyed Jaromir Jagr.

The reality is that if his name wasn’t Jaromir Jagr with the history that he’s got, he’s not a guy that would sign on July 1; he’s more likely a guy that signs in the second or third wave of forwards—that is the depth options, as opposed to the primary options.” Said McKenzie.

What this says to me though is that I’m starting to get the very strong sense he’s not going to be back in Florida. I think we all assumed at the end of last season that it was one of those ones where Florida really liked him and he liked them and this was one of those where it’s just, ‘Yeah, okay, we’ll get something done and money is not as important as the fit,’ and all of those things.” He added.

The living legend appears to be in trouble as no team inquired for his services yet.
