Nine seasons is a long time in the modern NHL. Very few players stick with the same team longer. If playing basically your entire career for the same team is the criteria for jersey retirement going forward, the number we'll see will be vanishingly small. How long until Chara has played long enough in Boston to have his jersey retired? Will Stamkos retire a Lightning?
