I hate numbers retired unless: they won a championship or played a full and distinguished career as a Flame
Iggy no, Theo yes
As far as whether they are nice, who cares? They get paid to win hockey games.
But in his defense, I have met Theo three times on business trips. I thought he was pretty awesome. The only other nice NHLers I have met were Hunter, Stern, Williams and Macoun. I've met plenty who were dicks (after career, when they should know better).
