I'm old enough to remember Nilsson but I never really thought of him as a dedicated "bleed for the team" icon type player. There was never any doubt that Fleury left it all on the ice, shortest guy on the ice with the biggest attitude and the skill to back it up. He didn't leave under the best terms, and he's had his issues over the years, but he is most certainly the only #14 in my mind. I wouldn't retire the number but would be bothered if anyone else wore it.
