Devils' Jagr open to being traded
Jaromir Jagr's tour around the NHL may have another stop ahead.
The veteran and legendary forward, who signed a one-year, $3.5-million contract to remain with the New Jersey Devils this past summer, has stated that he's open to being moved by the club, whose playoff chances appear to be fading.
"I have no problem with anything," Jagr told Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "It's up to (Devils general manager) Lou (Lamoriello). He knows me. I know him. I've got no problem with (being traded).
"If he wants to move me, he will. If he doesn't, he doesn't. He knows I like it here, but it's all about whatever is best for the team."
The 42-year-old has played for the Devils, Philadelphia Flyers, Boston Bruins and Dallas Stars since returning to the NHL in 2011, so a change of scenery would be nothing new.
Jagr has recorded 21 points in 37 games for the Devils - who may be looking to shed contracts with a view to the future - and certainly has enough left in the tank to help a Stanley Cup contender.
Your move, Lou.
