I kinda of like having numbers that mean you made the team. So reserving say 40-60 as camp numbers I like.
But this idea that numbers under 40 are hockey numbers and a player wanting 72 is an ego thing seems kinda ridiculous. I think a consistent policy is important. So a star like Bennett or Hamilton isnt given more sway in choosing a number then Jory's or Ferland.
But declaring some numbers non hockey numbers is dumb in my opinion.
