Former NY Rangers head coach Tom Renney with Jaromir Jagr.

On Thursday from the IIHF World Championships, Jaromir Jagr commented that if he returned to the NHL, the Oilers would be his first choice.

"If I ever go to (the NHL), they would be my number one pick because they showed the interest first. I never forget that and I respect that. They would be my first pick."

Thursday night on Inside Sports on 630 CHED during the 8:00 hour, host Dan Tencer had Bob Stauffer in studio to discuss several hot Oilers topics. Among them was Jaromir Jagr's comments and the possibility he might return to the NHL one day - and whether if he did would that team be the Oilers.
