    The New Jersey Devils have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with right wing Jaromir Jagr, a source told ESPN.com.

    Jagr, 41, will help New Jersey attempt to fill the massive void created when Ilya Kovalchuk stunningly elected to retire from the NHL and play in his native Russia's Kontinental Hockey League.

    The Devils also lost star right wing David Clarkson via free agency to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

    Jagr had 16 goals and 19 assists in 45 games for the Boston Bruins and Dallas Stars this past season. He recorded 10 assists in 22 playoff games with Boston.

    Jagr is no longer the elite player he once was, but the 23-year veteran is strong on the puck and can help on the power play. A Hart Trophy winner and five-time Art Ross Trophy winner, Jagr is 19 goals shy of 700 for his career.
