Have you ever considered that maybe the team knows a little more about Fleury than you do? I think that those with a long term involvement with the team likely is aware with the history of Fleury and how divisive he was in the dressing room. He wasn't a great team guy, he wasn't a great leader and he wasn't a great mentor. He definitely wasn't a model citizen. This is probably what the team is considering when they weigh any possible number retirement or player honorarium.

The reason why I say Kking is because every STH forum or pregame meet and greet I bring up the topic as it is my mission as a fan to see the 2nd greatest Forward in Flames history get his number or image hung from the rafters. Kking like a broken record the reply to is always the same" God bless my soul for being such a passionate fan",
His answer not once is ever hockey related to Theo it always is about how players have to represent themselves with in the city.

There is your answer right there. For a player to be bestowed the greatest honor possible they must hold the highest qualities in all aspects of their character. They must not only be a great player on the ice, they must be a great individual off the ice and be a great ambassador for the game, the team and be an upstanding person.

In spite of the private nightmare being a young longtime victim of a vile predator and all the good charitable work Theo has done hasn't changed the Flames to do the right thing!
