Life is not easy for everyone.
I don't mind the Flames forever idea, the concept is honouring the player and not shelving a number. He accomplished a lot here, and even if he departed inelegantly, it is fair to turn the focus to what is right.

I guess if thats as far as the flames would go i would take it. Just seems weird to put him in "Flames Forever" when no player has worn #14 since Fleury left 14 years ago.
