I'd rather all his kids were old enough to appreciate the moment when it happens. To me they're the ones who are the most important to provide a heartfelt moment to cherish for the rest of their days. The Flames waited 11 years to retire Kiprusoff's number. We can wait for the three Gaudreau children to be old enough to remember a ceremony like this for the rest of their lives.

I read your post for sure, as I responded to it. Was just saying it makes more sense to do it present day (next couple years) when it makes sense and his kids will appreciate and understand as they grow up. Is there precedence for a jersey retirement (whether through accomplishment/tragedy or a combination of both) waiting a decade to happen to wait for kids to grow older?
They will understand it and appreciate it in their own time and their own way as they grow older, if the Flames decide that the number should be retired. And I think it should be. Not sure why so hostile with that reponse.
