I like the number policy for a couple reasons.

I find it aesthetically more pleasing. I always make my EA teams have numbers pretty much in line with Burke's policy.

I really, really like the "getting a team-number" aspect of it. I have no idea what effect it would or wouldn't have on a professional athlete, but I just think it's cool that—when you're on the Calgary Flames—you get a number letting you know you've made the team.

I support the low-number policy, though I'd be fine with pushing it up to 40, as I do think 39 would look awesome on Bennett.
