Report: 'All signs' point to Jagr signing with Flames; rejected Blues' offer
Jaromir Jagr reportedly won't be joining the St. Louis Blues, but could be heading to Calgary.
St. Louis general manager Doug Armstrong told TSN's Pierre LeBrun that the Blues made an offer to the unrestricted free agent over the weekend, but was told Jagr is going in a different direction.
Armstrong says he, Martin Brodeur and Mike Yeo spoke with Jagr on the phone over the weekend then made him an offer. No hard feelings though

LeBrun added that "all signs point" to Jagr signing with the Calgary Flames, but that nothing is official. If and when he does agree to a contract with the Flames, it's expected Jagr will sign for $1 million with another $1 million in attainable bonuses.
Jagr, 45, scored 16 goals and added 30 assists in 82 games with the Florida Panthers last season.
