Has Jagr played his last game for the Rangers?

Reports are circulating that Jaromir Jagr may have played his last game with the Rangers. Jagr becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and speculation is that he will play in Europe, where he received a substantial contract offer from Omsk, a team that plays in the Russian Superleague. While the Rangers are still very interested in signing Jagr, there are cap issues and its unlikely they would match the offer that's already on the table. Complicating things a bit is that if the Rangers should sign Jagr, they would have to reconsider which free agents are available that fit with Jagr's game and how that would impact the team overall in terms of team chemistry and direction.
