IMO, it'd be pretty bush league of the Flames to not officially retire Iginla's number and go the route of "Forever a Flame". I think the Flames would be the laughing stock of the league if they went that route. Can you imagine if Sakic was "Forever an Av" instead of having his number retired? We'd all be making fun of the Avs for being bush league.
