I’m sure the Flames organization is also just simply scared of what Theo would say/do at a retirement ceremony and the media events around it. He’s shown that he speaks without thinking frequently. I’m sure that the idea of Theo being in the spotlight at an event which they would be closely associated with is terrifying. Will he be gracious or will he take the opportunity to bash the organization for past grievances or belittle the achievements of current Flames? I used to be a huge fan of his but I can totally understand the organization holding off. I expect his jersey will remain our of circulation but not retired until he passes or has had some serious medical event.
