Thinks retiring is going to be used for Iggy, Kipper, and ultimately Fleury. It actually isn't the worst idea when you frame it like that, and I've hated the whole concept. But my mind has been changed.

Man these retros look way better when they haven't been worn in so long. I hope it stays that way. I don't want them ruined like the Oilers have done.
