tricky one, we would hold up high hopes for Kylington. not the pirmiary number for either Montador or Moss. I think many of us would have a soft spot for Montador, who did his best work as number 5 (obviously not competitive for 5), Moss scored 10 goals though in 58 before moving to a number he also had no chance of winning
This one's actually an interesting 3-way race! Chose Moss only because he was with the Flames longer. Kylington hasn't been able to stick with the Flames yet. Montador had a good run with the Flames in 2004.

Was just pondering a Jets/Flames series with a guy I work with and was talking the blueline, and depth with Kylington sitting out to finish the season.
Completely forgot that Hamonic was hurt and would be back, likely pushing Forbort to the sidelines. A playoff run with Forbort and Kylington in the wings looks pretty solid.
Just hope Laine has been playing a lot of Xbox.

I only really picture Moss as #25, myself, but I voted for him here.

Do we count just Moss's time as number 58 or his whole Flames career?
If it's his whole Flames career then this should be a no brainer, Moss had a couple of really good seasons as a Flame.
Everyone is free to vote however they see fit, but I've been taking it as only the player's time wearing that number. Otherwise, Iggy should have won #24 because he was the best player to ever wear that number, but he wasn't the best while wearing the number.
If you take the question at face value, Brett Hull was the best player to ever wear #16 for the Flames, but he was not the best while wearing the number for the Flames.

I originally thought a drive-by comment was sufficient, but this really bothers me.
It's #58. The dude obviously wasn't going to win #5.
The only noteworthy 58 in the history of this entire goddamn sport is Kris Letang. It's nobody's number. Smart money says it's not even going to be Kylington's next year.
Montador scored one of the most important goals in team history and played 20 games in a Cup run, averaging over 17 minutes a night, and he was +4!
Oh, and not for nothing, but Oliver Kylington has the same number of regular season points as a Flame as Steve Montador, in a whopping seven fewer games.
Finally, David Moss was a replaceable bottom-6 NHL who will best be remembered for MISSING AN OT WINNER IN GAME 6 AGAINST THE RED WINGS IN 2006.
Get the #### out of here.
