I agree. Tier one: Retired number, Tier two: Not retired number
Why the need to water down the accomplishment of being honoured by a sports organization? Toronto and Montreal were forced to do something because they simply couldn't retire as many numbers as they had deserving players.
Since then it's like a bunch of teams including the Flames went "Yeah, we should do something like that too because we're also a sports team!!"
