I've only heard of that "jersey code" for the international teams - Fleury in the Olympics (Shanahan had like 1 yr seniority) & Iginla in his first Olympics.

In the NHL if you want a particular number you gotta pay the player who has it regardless of that player's tenure in the league - it's tenure on the team that counts.
