Jagr agrees to one-year contract with Flames: report

Forward Jaromir Jagr agreed to terms on one-year, $1 million contract with the Calgary Flames on Monday, according to Sportsnet.

Jagr could also receive an additional $1 million in bonuses.

The St. Louis Blues made an offer to Jagr during the weekend but were told he was going in another direction, general manager Doug Armstrong told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The Florida Panthers decided not to re-sign Jagr, who had 46 points (16 goals, 30 assists) in 82 games last season, on July 1.

Jagr, 45, became the third player in NHL history to score 750 goals, joining Gordie Howe (801) and Wayne Gretzky (894), on Oct. 20. Exactly two months later, he scored his 1,888th NHL point to pass Mark Messier for second behind Gretzky (2,857). On Feb. 15, his 45th birthday, Jagr scored his 1,900th NHL point.

Jagr (1,914 points) has played 23 NHL seasons with eight teams. He was voted one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players presented by Molson Canadian last season, is third in goals (765), fifth in assists (1,149) and fourth in games played (1,711) in League history. He also holds the NHL record for most game-winning goals (135).

Selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins with the No. 5 pick in the 1990 NHL Draft, he won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 1991 and 1992, and was chosen for the NHL All-Rookie Team in 1990-91 after he scored 57 points (27 goals, 30 assists) in 80 games.

Jagr won the Hart Trophy as League MVP for the 1998-99 season, the Art Ross Trophy as scoring champion in 1994-95 and four straight seasons from 1997-2001, and the Masterton Trophy for perseverance in 2016. He has been selected for the NHL All-Star Game 13 times and voted to the NHL First All-Star Team seven times.

Jagr has scored more than 20 goals in a season 19 times in his NHL career, including each of his first 17, 30 or more goals 15 times, more than 40 goals six times, and more than 50 goals three times, including an NHL career-high 62 in 1995-96.

Jagr has scored more than 100 points in a season five times in his NHL career but none since 2005-06, when he had 123 (54 goals, 69 assists) in 82 games. He has played for the Panthers, Rangers, Penguins, New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars, Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals, and has 201 points (78 goals, 123 assists) in 208 Stanley Cup Playoff games.

Jagr is done to CAL. $1M+$1M in bonuses. I think it might not be announced until he gets to the city, but there is a commitment.
