feels aggressive for a guy that really fell off after the lockout but i suppose it's akin to ken daneyko for new jersey better than 22 beers at least

Also the flyers for whatever reason are committed to the 1a-1b tandem thing and Mason loving hated that. Didn't help that Hakstol would switch them at a fuckin' moment's notice, oftentimes with very little reasoning.

Spring Break My Heart posted:You'd have to cut out the Nordiques history for that to be true, in which case you'd have a 20 year history where he was like the 10th most important guy. They were a successful team, they don't need to reach for retirements. If you add the Nordiques he's 4th? Goulet, Statsny, and Sakic are ahead of him. Nobody else.

It's exciting to know any non playoff team could get the top pick, but I'm not sure the lottery should function that way since in theory it's there to bring poo poo teams back from the dead.

Especially considering that the inevitable conclusion is Futurama style fractions because the pool of numbers is always shrinking and every generation is going to have a "legendary player" that "deserves" to have their number retired. Granted that problem is still a hundred years away but it should be obvious to anyone that thinks about it for more than 2 seconds.

I loved Hejduk, I was a huge fan of him, his was my first game used Jersey, and he was our Captain for a few years. I still don't think he should have his number retired, but only barely.
