Can you believe that, on the eve of free agency, ageless wonder Jaromir Jagr has yet to receive any calls from teams? Somehow, at age 45, Jagr was still able to be a solid producer for Florida. And yet, no calls.
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.😀😳🇨🇿
