The start of the 2017-18 NHL regular season is now a month away and Jaromir Jagr is still looking for a home for the upcoming season.
Second on the NHL's all-time points list and the highest scoring European-born player of all-time, Jagr has proven year after year that he still has what it takes to play at the highest level, but the 45-year-old doesn’t have as many options as he used to.
On Tuesday, Jagr’s hometown team HC Kladno unveiled their new threads for the upcoming WSM Liga season and they used Jagr’s name and No. 68 to get the job done.
When the original tweet is translated to English it reads; “Our new jerseys for the 2017-18 season”.
Jagr practiced with the team over the summer, so perhaps this is their final effort to try to get him to sign with them before the season gets underway this Saturday.
However, as nice as it would be to play close to home, Jagr still thinks he has what it takes to play in the NHL.
The five-time Art Ross Trophy winner has already played for the Knights of Kladno three different times (1994-95, 2004-05, 2012-13), and scored 43 goals and added 64 assists for 107 points in just 62 games.
