NASHVILLE -- Florida Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr believes the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game is a place for players younger than himself.

Jagr, 43, leads the Panthers with eight goals and 18 points in 22 games and is among the top vote-getters in early balloting for the game. But he said Thursday that other players should be considered in his place.

"That's what I write [on Twitter]. That's what I feel; 3-on-3 is too much for me," Jagr said after the morning skate in preparation for a game against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena.

On Wednesday, Jagr tweeted: "Fans - I appreciate your votes for All-Star game, but 3 on 3 would kill me and I don't want to die yet :) Thank you for understanding. Too old :)"

The scoring chances, skill and intensity that have made 3-on-3 overtime a must-see part of the game this season will be on display in a revamped format for the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Jan. 31.

The NHL and NHL Players' Association announced Wednesday that the All-Star Game will be transformed into a 3-on-3 All-Star Tournament comprised of three 20-minute games played by divisional all-star teams competing for a winner-take-all $1 million prize.

The NHL has experienced a significant rise in the percentage of games that end in overtime instead of the shootout largely because of the implementation of the 3-on-3 format for the 2015-16 season.
