Analysis:

He's 44 years old, so it's hard to blame Jagr for looking spent in the Panthers' first-round playoff loss to the Islanders, especially with Games 5 and 6 going into double overtime. The ageless wonder dialed in 27 goals and 39 assists in the regular season, but came up empty on 20 shots in the playoffs. On a positive note, he ended up with a pair of helpers. There's just no quit in Jagr, who undoubtedly has a spot reserved in the Hall of Fame. Thanks to his glory days with the Penguins in the '90s - including four 100-plus-point seasons in a span of six years - Jagr remains well over a point-per-game pace in his 22-year career. He's compiled 1,868 points (749 goals and 1,119 assists) through 1,629 contests, having worn the jerseys of the Penguins, Capitals, Rangers, Flyers, Bruins, Stars, Devils and Panthers. Jagr will remain a viable fantasy option as long as he's physically able to keep going.
