Jaromir Jagr about retirement
Jagr played for eight different teams during his 24 seasons in the NHL before returning home to his club, Kladno, in Czechia, where he recorded 16 points in 39 games last season. In an interview with Sportsnet, Jagr shared his thoughts on this year’s Stanley Cup Final, expressing confidence in the Florida Panthers:
“They’re a complete team. The way I see it, they’ve got a lot of guys who can score goals. They proved it in the last two games. Three lines can score. And that fourth one, they’re doing a great job. I feel like they have more depth,” Jagr told Sportsnet.
As for his own future, Jagr hasn’t made a final decision—but he’s not ready to hang up the skates just yet:
“I think so. Hopefully, yeah,” Jagr said.
