Jaromir Jagr has been placed on waivers by the Calgary Flames, in a move that could spell the end of his illustrious NHL career. Two people with direct knowledge of the move confirmed it to The Associated Press Sunday on condition of anonymity, because the team had not announced the transaction. Calgary signed Jagr to a $1-million (U.S.), one-year deal with performance bonuses at the start of the season, and he made his Flames debut on Oct. 11. Jagr had a goal and six assists in 22 games this season and hasn’t played since Dec. 31 because of what the team called a lower-body injury. Jagr bounced around with the Flames, playing on the top line with stars Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan and with youngsters Sam Bennett and Mark Jankowski.
