I fully understand that I am in the minority here but I am amazed that there is such a demand to retire a jersey for a guy that played his final TEN seasons away from the Flames. There is no question that he is our all time best D man but this was not an Iggy situation where he chased the cup at the tail end, he left here in his prime and spent a decade away. Do you think the Habs would have retired Rocket Richard's number if he went to play for the Rangers for 10 years?
