With free agency winding down, there still remains one superstar left on the market: Jaromir Jagr. Jagr is hearing out offers left and right, and sources say other teams still haven't entered in their bid on the Czech native yet.
When asked why Jagr would be a good fit on their team, a GM who asked not to be named responded, "A player with that kind of skill, size and power doesn't come along that often. We're talking about a surefire Hall of Famer here."
According to Eklund, the leading canditates for Jagr seem to be the Los Angeles Kings and the Florida Panthers who are both reportedly dishing out big money and the young talent on both teams certainly would be a good fit for Jagr. However, it is also being speculated that Jagr could go back to where it all started and sign with the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have also reportedly entered a bid for Jagr. Many more teams could enter into the race also.
Jagr is expected to make his decision in the next 48 hours.
