No doubt that Fleury's accomplishments in Flames silks merit having his #14 hanging from the rafters. Iginla's #12 is a shoe-in to be retired in the future as well. Kipper is open to debate but I feel it should be up there.
The Forever a Flame may have been bestowed on MacInnis because his number is already retired as a St. Louis Blue. Kind of like how you enter the Cooperstown in baseball under one team, my guess is the Flames organization felt it would be odd to have the same guy retired as both a Flame and a Blue.
