Ok but (using the word "literally" in its literal sense) franchise history literally moves with the franchise. Like the records, players, stats, etc literally (again, in the literal sense) stay with the franchise regardless of where it moves to.
Dale Hawerchuk's #10 is only officially retired in Arizona, for instance. While fans may not like a new player wearing that number in Winnipeg, it's not actually retired there - nor can it be, because Dale Hawerchuk never played for the franchise that is there now.
Edit: I get it though. Fans be cray-cray.
