I'm okay with not retiring numbers. I love seeing the banner with MacDonald's #9 hanging from the rafters but I would also be okay with seeing another player wearing the #9 on the Flames.
The same goes for 2, 12, 14, 34. All were great players and I really appreciate what each of them has done for the team but if we draft a kid who is going to be the future of the team and he has played all his life with one of those numbers, I would rather he keep playing with that number and possibly put another one up in the rafters instead of forcing him to switch.
