Jagr gets offer from ECHL's Florida Everblades

As a great man once said, "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take."

The ECHL's Florida Everblades took a shot Monday and made a pitch to Jaromir Jagr in hopes he'll join their roster next season.

The club is offering a 2017-18 roster spot to Jagr, who claimed he wasn't getting any calls from NHL teams during the free-agent wooing period late last month.

Jagr spent parts of the last three seasons with the Florida Panthers, but the living legend is still without a contract for the upcoming campaign.

Everblades spokesman Alex Reed says the club would be willing to keep things simple for the 45-year-old forward.

"We are definitely open to a 'Weekend Warrior' contract for Jaromir," Reed said. "He could make the easy 90-minute drive across Alligator Alley and just play in our Friday and Saturday home games. Heck, we will even send an intern to personally pick him up and drive him over if necessary."

The league's third all-time goal-scorer and second all-time point producer will surely get at least one NHL offer before the fall, but if you're an ECHL team with local ties to the former superstar, it never hurts to shoot your shot.
