Burke cares.
It's such a minor and insignificant part of our interaction with the team as fans that I don't see why anyone outside of the team cares what player wears what number. Doesn't it make sense to just let the team make numbers available however it pleases?
Would Iginla's popularity be different if he was #72 instead of #12? If Fleury was #84 instead of #14? No. So why should any of us care what arbitrary method the Flames use to hand out jersey numbers? If they want to mandate rules, let them mandate them. The effect on fans is literally zero.
