The only living Senator that deserves to have his number retired is Alfie.
Spezza, in his first year as captain, literally bailed on the team instead of leading and giving it his own identity. Spezza was a very prolific scorer and immensely talented. I wish he didn't quit on this team but points alone don't get your number retired.

Don't kid yourself for a second if you think he bailed on the team and decided to jump ship. 3/4 of the fanbase and media ran Spezza out of town. I think it's safe to say that the feeling is mutual for Spezza and the fans to go their separate ways and now is too late to want to keep him or sign an extension.
