Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said Jagr, a pending unrestricted free agent, would like to return to the team, Harvey Fialkov of the Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

He's 44 years old, so it's hard to blame Jagr for looking spent in the first-round, playoff series loss to the Islanders, especially with Games 5 and 6 going into double overtime. The ageless wonder dialed in 27 goals and 39 assists in the regular season, but came up empty on 20 shots in the playoffs. On a positive note, he ended up with a pair of helpers. There's just no quitting with Jagr, who undoubtedly has a spot reserved in the Hall of Fame. Thanks to his glory days with the Penguins in the 90's - including four 100-plus point seasons in a span of six years - Jagr remains well over a point-per-game pace in his 22-year career. He's compiled 1,868 points (749 goals, 1119 assists) through 1,629 contests, having played in parts of seasons - and the entire schedule in some cases -- with the Penguins, Capitals, Rangers, Flyers, Bruins, Stars, Devils and Panthers. He'll be a viable fantasy option as long as he's physically able to keep going.
