An excerpt from the New York Post (Larry Brooks):
It is becoming increasingly likely that Jaromir Jagr has played his last game as a Ranger, if not in the NHL.

His goal first and foremost is to play in the NHL for another two or three seasons,” Brisson said. “His objective is to sign a new contract with the Rangers, and that has always been his priority. I told that to Glen when we talked [yesterday] morning, so he knows that.
