When ppl think of Al MacInnis they think St. Louis Blues.
When ppl think of Joe Nieuwendyk they think Dallas Stars.
These two guys even identify themselves as a Blue and a Star as they have each held a front office job in each organization.
Meanwhile Lanny is a Flame and is still a big part of the organization, Iggy is a Flame through and through, Vernon is a hometown boy, and Fleury and Kipper were true Flames as well.
I like two categories because Al and Joe, although great, moved onto other organizations and developed strong roots after leaving Calgary.
The bar is set high to be a retired Flame and I like that.
Keep it how it is with one category for Flames legends who were a part of our history but dont quite meet an unofficial criteria to be a retired Flame.
