Jaromir Jagr admitted that he's enjoyed his time in the City of Brotherly Love - so much so that he would welcome a return to the Philadelphia Flyers next season. "I don't think it's going to be a problem - because, from my side, I'm happy," the 39-year-old Jagr said. "I like this team too much. I don't want to go anywhere." Coach Peter Laviolette was thrilled to hear those words. "That's good to hear," Laviolette said. "He seems like he's been enjoying his time back here. There's a lot of smiling coming from him. His play on the ice, I think, shows that." Signed to a one-year deal worth $3.3 million, Jagr has collected 12 goals, 22 assists and 14 penalty minutes in his first season with the Flyers.
