I really don't like retired numbers but if one guy deserves it Fleury would be my second choice. He did carry the team through some times when the Flames really lacked talent. Fleury has a lot of demons but still produced on the ice.
I was lucky enough to watch his first pro game in Salt Lake City, then he dominated the IHL playoffs even though he was only allowed to play ten games. Interesting life he has led, if I every hear his music again I will vote no.
If the Flames do hang a banner for Fleury it should be a little shorter than everyone elses. The guy that really should be honored by the Flames is Tim Hunter.
