I fully support retiring #13 at a time when the Gaudreau family is comfortable in doing so.
Yes it still stings that he didn't re-sign with the Flames but free agency is the players' prerogative; they have one career and ultimately we need to respect their decisions whether or not it's what we want as fans.
We shouldn't let his decision overshadow the great things he accomplished on and off the ice while in Calgary, and it should have no bearing on how the organisation decides to honour him in perpetuity.
