I like it. It's cool to have two separate methods of honoring Flames.
That being said, Iggy is 19th ALL-TIME on the goals list, and may catch Sakic for 15. Easily would have been 12th/13th if not for 2 lockouts. And his prime years were in the famous dead puck era. Also, he brought more than just goals to the table in his career. He is a legend of hockey, no doubt and should have his number retired. If KK decides to do the lesser forever a flame, well he will instantly be fired by ownership I think.
But for a guy like Regehr, I think Forever a Flame is very fitting, but he shouldn't have his number retired.
