I think it should be a part of it I guess but what he accomplished points / play-wise was so monstrous it really is an albatross out there for the Flames.
When you really think about what Lanny contributed to the Flames, vs. what Fleury contributed to the Flames- it really doesn't seem consistent with whose jersey got retired and whose didn't.

The original point suggested the fans wanted his number retirement - I'm just saying not everyone does. Not suggesting one person's opinion should matter - but if he's ticked off the owners to the point they don't want to do it - then I would get that.
I don't think jersey retirement should come down to on ice performance alone.
Anyways my feelings on Fleury are well known and it has been debated to death.
