Re: NHL '10 - '11 Thread

Jaromir Jagr confirmed to ESPN.com Friday that he's considering a return to the NHL if there's a team willing to take him.
Jagr's new agent, former NHL player Petr Svoboda, told ESPN.com Friday morning from Europe that a decision could be made this weekend.
"I've talked to Montreal, I've talked to Detroit, a few other teams called once they found out he was ready to go to [the] NHL," Svoboda told ESPN.com. "Hopefully we should have a better idea by tomorrow. There's quite a few teams that have interest. Jaromir feels he's NHL-ready again. I believe this might happen."
Red Wings general manager Ken Holland confirmed his team was in the mix.
"We have been contacted and we have interest. We're exploring our interest," Holland told ESPN.com Friday.
Holland did not elaborate, but salary-cap implications are at play here. With the retirement of Brian Rafalski and the cap going up again for next season, the Red Wings could have as much as $10 million to play with.
