I do think it's harder to retire Johnny's number at this, because it places way more of the focus on him relative to Matty.
But I trust that between the organization and the family - whatever they do will be the right thing for right now.
My daughter and I had a great conversation about Johnny the other day as we were looking at a hockey card of him. She knows he passed away and how. But her question was just "can you tell me more about him..."
So I did. And it was wonderful. And heartbreaking all over again.
