    Jagr had 46 points in 82 games for the Florida Panthers last season, but the sides couldn't agree on a new deal and parted ways. He wants to return to the NHL for a 24th season, even for part of a season, which means he doesn't want to commit to the top Czech league.

    "That would be the advantage of playing for Kladno. One thing is I would be at home and the other is I would have a chance to leave for the NHL anytime there is an opportunity," he said, according to NHL.com. "Let's say some team deals with injuries and needs help, then I could pack my stuff in the next day and go. If I played in Extraliga, I wouldn't have such an option unless the Czech league season would be over."
