The St. Louis Blues have had internal discussions about signing unrestricted free agent Jaromir Jagr, general manager Doug Armstrong said Thursday, according to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic.

The Blues have a sudden need for forward help, as it was announced Wednesday that Robby Fabbri will miss the entirety of the 2017-18 season after re-injuring his surgically repaired left knee.

Despite being 45 years old and well past his prime, Jagr can still contribute offensively and could provide an element of scoring depth to St. Louis' forward group.

Last season, Jagr registered decent numbers for the Florida Panthers. Across a full 82-game slate, the Czech native tallied 16 goals and 30 assists while also logging a respectable 17 minutes in ice time per game.

Rumors have swirled regarding Jagr's next destination since the Panthers cut ties with the veteran winger July 1.
