Exactly. If it was based purely on on-ice performance, MacInnes should have his jersey retired, and not Vernon and Lanny.

I personally don't think Vernon should have been retired, but as a young franchise it's whatever.

Lanny's pure on-ice performance doesn't warrant a retirement, but is there really a more iconic Flame? Iggy only. And it's arguable.

Retirements are only for very special players. Not just for "the best player on the team for a stretch of time".
