Is there any kind of etiquette in the sports world when it comes to this sort of thing? Even though he was a Flame most of his career and fairly recently, he was a Blue Jacket at the time of his death. Should the Flames wait until the Blue Jackets have retired his jersey before doing it?
I was also thinking that wearing #13 shoulder patches or something next season would be a fitting way to honour his memory, but I wasn't sure if doing that would be appropriate.

Colorado retired Bourque's jersey before Boston could. I remember people questioning why they wouldn't give Boston the opportunity to do it first. I think it could be taken either way in either case.
