For me, the criteria for Forever a Flame means, when I think of the player, I think of Calgary. You must have played the most part of your career in a Flames uni, and have some success, being a Cup, or franschise records.
This goes for McDonald, Vernon, Iginla, Kipper. The same goes for Loob, Otto.
The fact that Mullen, Roberts, gilmour played a big chunk of their career elsewhere takes them away in my books.
I dont want 14 raised yet, he needs to show what he´s been trying to do last years, that he has grown up, BUT, the fact that you even consider Nieuwendyk before Theo is ridicuolus. Theo came back (okey, so perhaps nobody else wanted him, but at least he tried!) Joe REFUSED to play here. With that, he basically said, "I´m NOT forever a Flame."
