NEW YORK, June 27, 2008 (AFP) - A Russian Super League club has offered Czech star Jaromir Jagr a 35-million-dollar contract to play in Europe next season, American media reported Friday.
The New York Post said Omsk reportedly offered the three-year contract earlier this week after months of conversation with Jagr, who scored 25 goals and had 71 points as the captain of the New York Rangers last season.
Jagr, a seven-time all-star, will become an unrestricted free agent on Tuesday and has said that his first choice is to sign a new deal with the Rangers.
Jagr, a native of the Czech Republic who won the Hart Trophy as the NHL´s MVP 10 years ago, has 646 goals and 953 assists in parts of 18 seasons with the Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals.
The 36-year-old right wing scored 16 goals in 32 games while playing for Omsk during the 2004-05 NHL lockout season.
