Jaromir Jagr has reportedly cleared waivers and the balance of his contract with the Calgary Flames is expected to be assigned to Czech club Kladno, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.
This likely signals the end of the legendary forward's NHL career. It took until nearly the end of last summer for Jagr to come to terms on his one-year, $1-million contract with the Flames.
Limited to 22 games with Calgary, Jagr added a goal and six assists to his career point total of 1,921, which is second in league history after Wayne Gretzky (2,857).
Jagr's also set to finish 34 games shy of Gordie Howe's all-time games played record of 1,767.
Drafted fifth overall by Pittsburgh in 1990, Jagr recorded 766 goals and 1,155 assists with nine teams, and won two Stanley Cups with the Penguins (1991, 1992). He also won five Art Ross Trophies, three Ted Lindsays Awards, the Hart Trophy and the Bill Masterton Trophy.
Jagr is a co-owner and team president of Kladno, the Czech team based in his hometown, and he's now free to play for his country at PyeonChang 2018.
