I'm all for honoring Johnny the person this season, and raising a banner to acknowledge him, and then eventually retiring his number a few years down the road when the timing is right.
That way, we can honor Johnny properly this season, and then when we retire his jersey later on, also honor him for all the on ice achievements. Even if he didn't pass away, I've always thought Flames would eventually retire his number later on based on his stats and record.
