So you go to the kids as they join the team, and encourage them towards a lower number (this is a 5 second conversation)
Sven: would you like #27?
Markus: #11 is taken, would you like #9?
Bill: That dude who picked you up swapped #24 for #22 in his career. Deal?
Jesus: Cammalleri walked, here's the #13 you look majestic in
Paul: For some reason, I see you in a #10. Here ya go
Ben: Um... #58 is just fine for now, we'll talk later
Bryce: You wore #12 eh? BIT of an issue, but here's #21
Tyler: Reclaim your #26
Chris: #44 seems to have become a traditional D-man number, enjoy it

You forgot one:

Max: Monny just took #19 instead, you can just have #23 now
