good summer topic I thought

in camp we should see what happens with Burke's jersey number issue (wasn't it under 34 or something?)

The Flames have always had to convert Jooris, Granlund and Ferland to lower numbers as they are all wearing their camp numbers.

Now they've added Frolik who likes 67 and they have Bennett as a likely day to day player who also has a camp number.

That's 5 guys and essentially no spots, and all forwards

Untouchable numbers ... 2, 9, 12, 14

Numbers available? 3, 10, 16, 20, 30, and then 33+

Seems to me this doesn't work without taking regular numbers away from guys like Shore, Wotherspoon, etc.
