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.

I agree with this. What difference does it make if they are honored in one way or another. I see people mentioning Regher/Roberts etc., because they are who the current fans remember, but what about guys like Chouinard, Lysiak, Plett etc., who contributed as much to the franchise as many of the '80s and '90s guys did.
