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.

For while No. 68’s agent, Pat Brisson, told The Post yesterday that Jagr would prefer to sign a new contract with the New York Rangers in lieu of reaching unrestricted free agency on Tuesday, he made it clear the winger is seeking a multi-year deal GM Glen Sather doesn’t seem willing to offer.

“Jags and I have been talking all week. 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.
