Free agent Jagr feels he still has a place in the NHL
Some team, somewhere has room for Jaromir Jagr, or so the veteran believes.
The 45-year-old is an unrestricted free agent, and while he had a slightly down year in 2017 - posting 16 goals and 46 points in 82 games with the Florida Panthers - Jagr still feels he is good enough to earn a spot in the NHL.
"I don't think I am so bad that I couldn't play there," Jagr said, according to Czech hockey reporter Zdenek Janda of Denik Sport.
As he awaits a deal, Jagr continues to keep in shape, skating with club Kladno in his hometown in the Czech Republic.

This past season, Jagr passed Mark Messier to move into second place on the NHL's all-time points list. The former Hart Trophy winner is also 35 goals shy of becoming just the third player in history to tally 800 career goals, and 36 away from matching Gordie Howe for second place all-time.
