NHL great Jaromir Jahr has been reassigned by the Calgary Flames to the Kladno Knights, a team in his native Czech Republic that the forward owns. The move on Monday came after Calgary placed the 45-year-old Jagr on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his NHL contract so he could return to Europe to finish the season. Jagr had only a goal and six assists in 22 games for Calgary after signing a one-year, $1 million contract on Oct. 4 as an unrestricted free agent. Jagr is the active NHL leader with 1,733 games played, 766 goals, 1,555 assists, and 1,921 points. "Jaromir Jagr is ready to return to the Czech Republic," Kladno spokesman Vit Heral said.
