When the time comes, should the Penguins retire No. 68?

The argument has raged since around the dawn of recorded time which, coincidentally enough, is roughly when Jaromir Jagr skated his first shift with the Penguins.

Should the team retire Jagr's number?

Assuming, of course, Jagr ever stops playing, which seems far from certain at this point.

Those who believe No. 68 should join the sweaters of Michel Briere and Mario Lemieux in the rafters at PPG Paints Arena are quick to note that his spent the first 11 seasons of his Hall of Fame career [his induction is a given, assuming he ever hangs up his skates] with the Penguins.
