The Calgary Flames are having talks with the camp of Jaromir Jagr Sunday night, according to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun.

LeBrun says there is no certainty that a contract will get signed between the two, but that "it is very possible."

The report comes a day after Jagr tweeted an interesting photo of his cat with a bottle of tequila and a stash of money with the caption: "Look, I just tell my cat, there is a chance to play in NHL this year".

Jagr remains without an NHL contract with the regular season now just three days away. On Friday he told a Czech publication that he would not skate with a Czech league team this weekend as he continues to negotiate a potential NHL contract.

This came after St. Louis Blues general manager Doug Armstrong noted his team had internal discussions about signing Jagr earlier in the week.
