GREENBURGH, N.Y. - Jaromir Jagr entered his season-ending exit interview not knowing if it would be his last act with the New York Rangers.
Two days after the Rangers were eliminated with an overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round of the playoffs, Jagr stood in front of his stall Tuesday and did his best to explain what the future holds.
Nearly a half-hour later, there were still no concrete answers from the free-agent-to-be.
''I don't have 30 teams to choose from,'' the New York captain said. ''First, I am going to talk to the Rangers. That's the number one option for me.LinkSource:TSN.ca I would like Jagr to stay in the NHL, and not return home to Czech Republic. Hes still got a few years left in him. There are still some stat milestones he can reach. -One point away from 1600 Career Points -47 Assists from 1000 -4 goals away from 650 -22 Goals away from 10th all time Did anybody say anything this season when he became the first European to break the top 10 point list?

I heard the interview, and believe that he wants to stay in New York. I don't believe, however, that he will stay in New York if somewhere else offers him more money. He's a money first guy, and I'm sure his services will be up to the highest bidder come July 1 if he's not re-signed prior.

I think the Rangers will spend the money to keep him.
I highly doubt Shanahan will be back and they'll need Jagr to help keep the scoring going.

Nice to see that Jagr is committed to playing hockey for another season.
