from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
A reliable third party source yesterday told The Post that his connections in the Czech Republic believe that Jagr has recently received a three-year contract offer for the equivalent of $35M after-tax US dollars from Omsk of the Russian Super League. The captain is believed to have received the formal offer this week from Omsk GM Anatoly Bardin after months of conversations.
Jagr, who will become an unrestricted free agent on Tuesday, has said that his first choice is to sign a new deal with the Rangers New York Rangers . But Sather yesterday told The Post that he has not heard from No. 68 despite repeatedly telling Jagr’s North American agent Pat Brisson, that he wants Jagr to return.

I don’t know about “from the get go,” but definitely since the end of the season. First it was “Sather hasn’t contacted Jagr but Jagr wants to come back.” Now it’s “Jagr hasn’t contacted Sather but Sather wants him to come back.” Give me a break.
Jagr’s been in the US since the end of the season and now that he’s gone home for the summer Sather says he wants a face-to-face? They’re playing each other and the media.
