Speculation: Jersey Numbers for the new guys?

[FerrisRox]

Mathieu Schneider

Schneider wore #72 with the Maple Leafs.

 

[FerrisRox]

Both Corson and Marchment have worn it, since The Captain.

And Dave Semenko and Miroslav Inachack.

There is clearly no reverence on the part of the Maple Leaf brass for #27.

Sittler's not even the best Maple Leaf to wear the number himself.

 

[Al14]

Komarov 99.

The number 99 has been retired league wide I believe.

 

[Leafs99]

It's become painfully clear over the years that management has little regard for the numbers worn by great players. That horse bolted long ago, and is not coming back. It's been the one consistent hallmark of our ownership regimes of the last fifty years. I don't trust them to sit the right way on a toilet seat, never mind being trusted with any kind of respect for history.

 

[Donald McRonald]

Kontiola 12
Santorelli 23
Komarov 47
Frattin 39
Robidas 4
Polak 2
Carrick 41

They need to un-retire it.

 

[crump]

Good ol Wilf.

Other than the retired numbers it should be open season for all.

Kadri 91
Kontiola 27 I thought he wore it we'll in his highlight clips. At least he has decent hands..

The right way on a toilet seat? Funny stuff.

Lovingly stolen from somewhere else, I'm sure...I just forget where.

Schneider wore #72 with the Maple Leafs.

I know, its why I mentioned it.

Someone said maybe he could switch the 2 and 7 around.
*edit* It was Thainer21

 

[Rayzorexe]

Peca wore 27 in the short time here was here.

 

[Pyrophorus]

*bump*

..with Booth, Winnik

 

[Hero]

I hope Komarov takes 87. Please do it Leo

I posted this in another thread. I really hope he does.

He ain't no Gretzky.

 

[Leafsdude7]

8 for Booth
14 for Winnik
25 for Santorelli
33 for Robidas
46 for Polak
47 for Komarov

Unsure if the Leafs would dare give 14 to Winnik (no one's worn it since Stajan, and it seems like Keon's mellowed since, perhaps because of it), but that's the most likely number he gets, IMO...Unless he gets Reimer to give up his 34, in which case I'm at a total loss of what number Reimer would take.

I don't think Booth will want to deal with Gary Roberts for #7.

Also an interesting note that, for the 40s, only 41, 48 and 49 will be regularly unused this season if those numbers are taken (add Bodie's 40, Bozak's 42, Kadri's 43, Rielly's 44 and Bernier's 45).

ETA: Reimer apparently wore 31 through Junior and with the Marlies. Could happen.

 

[Once]

I'm hoping Booth takes 7. Roberts was 10 years ago. I loved him, great player but not that significant to disallow the use of a number. I feel as though we read too much into this.

I leaning towards his taking #10

 

[Sergei Berezin]

Maybe Winnik takes 43, Kadri takes 91 and we all win?

Winnik wore 27 in college.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Winnik wore 27 in college.

He and Kontiola battle it off

According to my "source", we'll see which ones are right.

David Booth - 16
Leo Komarov - 47
Petri Kontiola - 77
Roman Polak - 46
Stephane Robidas - 33
Mike Santorelli - 10
Daniel Winnik - 7

That's off the wall, but I like it.

The lone minor question is what # does Broll switch to?

I mean, he did wear it for years haha. I wouldn't be too shocked if he kept it.

 

[APV]

they should/should have done a press conference introducing all of these new faces at once which would obviously include jersey numbers etc.

These aren't the level of player additions that you hold a PC over, and that might still happen as camp opens in September and they introduce the new players.

I bolded Polak for Broll.

I thought the entire numbering was off the wall.
