Jagr's agent 'working around the clock' to find NHL contract

It's not for a lack of trying.

Petr Svoboda, the agent of Jaromir Jagr, admits he's "working around the clock" to get the future Hall of Famer signed to a contract.

While Svoboda wasn't specific about where Jagr could land, he told Rick Dhaliwal of News 1130 Sports that a deal will get done.

Jagr spent part of the past three seasons with the Florida Panthers, finishing fourth in team scoring in 2016-17 with 46 points. However, his tenure in Florida ended this offseason, as the Panthers chose to cut ties.

Despite his age, the 45-year-old was a picture of health over the past two seasons, missing just three contests. He also appeared in all six playoff games in 2015-16.

Arguably his best moment as a Panther came last December, when he passed Mark Messier for second all time in NHL scoring. Jagr now ranks behind only Wayne Gretzky - 943 points separate the two stars.

As for his future, a move to a new NHL city - should he not return to one of his former stops - would mark Jagr's ninth team. At the least, it means there could soon be an opening with the Travelling Jagrs.
