I like the number policy too, but I would like to see the available numbers expanded to let's say 59 and start officially sealing off some of those jersey numbers like 12 and 14, deal with the number shortage as well as deal with players traded mid season, trading block players and FA players hopping on board.

I like certain numbers being training camp/temp numbers too (ie: 60+). That being said though, it gets weird if you keep your training camp number into the regular season and do well. Do you lose your number? Pretty sure the Barts 47 to 27 thing didn't fly that well.
