Need some goal scoring? Call Jaromir Jagr.
The future Hall of Famer took to Twitter on Thursday with a little self-deprecating humor, poking fun at the apparent lack of interest in his services:
Everywhere I look,I read:all FA getting calls from10-12teams. Me0 calls.On the contrary,I'm trying to call them,and no ones picking up.😀😳🇨🇿

The 45-year-old becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and has made no bones about wanting to continue his NHL career. Jagr spent the 2016-17 campaign with the Florida Panthers, racking up 46 points in 82 games. The two sides discussed the possibility of a contract extension earlier this month.

Should Jagr continue his playing days, he'll need just 57 games to grab sole possession of the NHL's all-time games played mark, currently held by Gordie Howe. Last season, Jagr leapfrogged Mark Messier for the second spot in all-time scoring, behind only Wayne Gretzky.
