While initially this seemed far fetched, a photo surfaced yesterday of Jagr training with Penguins defender Kris Letang. The photo shows the two in a gym with Jagr clearly pushing himself.

If Jagr attempts to make a return at 51-years-old it would be an incredible feat. It's not something that will likely happen, but the rumors are getting louder by the day.
