Yeah, strange story. Which speaks to either the Vancouver media digging or Sven's sensitivity to the issue.
27 was his junior number, 47 was just the random number rookie players are assigned. Like Bennet's 93, Jooris' 86, and Ferland's 79.
Baertschi, expected to make the team, was allowed a lower number, so went back to 27.
