Therefore it isn't relevant.
You are arguing that since he deserves to be in the Hall he should have his number honored. But the fact is - he ain't.
To draw a parallel. Doug Gilmour is also not in the Hall and not honored by the Flames. Should he be in the Hall? Maybe. Does that mean he would have to be honored by the Flames? No.

Might be just my opinion but Gilmour shouldn't be close to Fleury in popularity as a Flame.
To me Fleury should be at least 3rd for flames all time only behind Macdonald and MacInnis. And Macdonald only gets the nod because he was a "nicer" person. fans are either too young or just plain fickle if they don't remember how good Fleury was for the flames.
