Jagr, who at 43 is the oldest player in the league, signed with the Devils almost two years ago. He scored 67 points last season, and In 57 games, has 11 goals and 18 assists with a -10 plus/minus mark.

The day before the trade, Jagr told the media that he felt he was only going to get less ice time if we wasn’t traded. “That’s all I really worry about,” he told reporters. “If I stay here and we’re not going to have a chance to make the playoffs, I don’t think I’m going to play at all. And I still like to play.”

Jagr is a five-time Art Ross trophy-winner and 12-time All-Star.
