Jaromir Jagr would probably play professional hockey for the rest of his life if he could, but 31 NHL franchises are currently standing in the way of his dreams as no one has offered 45-year-old a new contract for the upcoming NHL season.
Despite putting up 60 or more points in two of the past four seasons, the five-time Art Ross Trophy winner is still waiting for an NHL team to offer him a contract with the 2017-18 NHL season quickly approaching.
With 38 days until the first game of the NHL season, our BarDown artist Pengellyink depicted how Jagr must feel waiting to find out if he’ll be picked up.
Since no team has reached out to Jagr just yet, the NHL on NBC social media team created a Jagr Tinder profile in the hopes he’ll be able to find a match using the app.
It appears NHL GMs miss the old Jagr…
We’re keeping our fingers crossed Jagr finds a team, and we can watch him in the NHL for another season.
