Jaromir Jagr: Chances of re-signing with Panthers are 'pretty good'
Robert Mayer / USA TODAY Sports
The oldest player in the NHL may play out the rest of his career in Florida.
Jaromir Jagr appears to be leaning toward a return to the Panthers, as disclosed in a recent interview in his native country:

Since joining the Panthers in late February, the 43-year-old has recorded five goals and nine assists in 18 games, and has found chemistry with linemates half his age, namely Aleksander Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau.
It all seems like a match made in the sunshine, and one that could continue over the course of the next season or two.
