I’m in the same camp. The Red Wings still haven’t retired Fedorov’s jersey because of that toxic offer sheet shenanigans he signed with the Carolina Hurricanes and Peter Karmanos in 1998 that forced the Wings to match, and then pay Sergei after they won the Cup.
Theo’s jersey isn’t retired… boo hoo… he’s not alone.
Not that it is comparable but Fedorov was a better player and in the Hall of Fame?
The Flames will probably wait until the Hall of Fame thinks Theo is worthy of getting honoured.
If it doesn’t happen… oh well.
