The Panthers re-signed Jaromir Jagr to a one-year contract extension on Sunday.

Jagr, 43, was acquired from New Jersey via trade on February 26th. In 20 games with the Panthers he tallied six goals and 12 assists (18 points). He looked much better in the Sunshine State than he did in New Jersey, so he will come back for his 21st NHL season in 2015-16.

After being acquired from New Jersey yesterday, Jaromir Jagr has reputedly passed his physical and is cleared to play on Saturday vs. the Sabres. We won’t know who his line mates will be until tomorrow, but the 43-year-old will suit up for his eighth NHL franchise on Saturday.

The Panthers have acquired Jaromir Jagr from the Devils for a 2015 2nd round pick and a conditional 2016 3rd round pick.

Jagr had made it well known that he wanted out of New Jersey. The Panthers have made it clear that they are going for it this season by adding the veteran forward. Even at 43-years-old, Jagr is a more than capable scorer that should see time in the Panthers top-6. Jagr has 11 goals and 18 assists (29 points) in 57 games this season.
