Speculation: New jersey #s

[1989]

someone shared this on CP



5:47 in they bring up jersey #s

63 is his training camp number
would prefer 93
believes rule is under 40

Just after 8 minutes in Bennett talks about Stajan & Raymond were 2 vets that really made him feel welcome. When we talk about Raymond this is something we may forget about him.

Finally got a chance to watch this, it's a pretty good interview seeing as there's a range of not often talked about topics which are still relevant, and Bennett gives a decent interview about his insights as a rookie. Thanks for sharing, 100TG.

That's racist

I was called that for saying a guy looked like Eddie Murphy.

What are you trying to say here?

So we know now that Hamilton is 27, and Frolik is 67.

Guess this could change the trend of vets under 30.... 67 is a good number though.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

This tells me Frolik is destined for Stockton.

This tells me that Burke views Frolik as a bit of a selfish primadonna.

the same exception was made for Kessel in Toronto. IIRC the example Burke always used was Jagr and how if he ever acquired Jagr he wouldn't ask him to change his 68

Bennett officially gets 93!!

Jooris with 16
Bollig with 52

Thanks for that! Looks like Granlund is not being given an official team number.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

So who gets #25, or is it being retired?

Bollig was 52 in Chicago, so it could just be that.

 

[Anglesmith]

Bollig was 52 in Chicago, so it could just be that.

I think that's probably all it is. Frankly, I'm surprised we aren't seeing DJones moved back to #54. I'm guessing that with opening up high numbers again, they probably asked each player if they wanted to switch.

Ah, so he fell victim to the 30 & under policy

Damn, he's my new avatar lol.

Didn't he wear #60 (or some other high number) in Finland?

 

[Anglesmith]

I think it just indicates that, like 100TG, the team still considers him to be a prospect. He is also waiver-eligible. I would assume that if he makes the team out of camp, he'll be given an official number just before the season starts, just like Gaudreau.

 

[FlamerForLife]

Looks like it's time to order the #93 Bennett jersey!

I don't think he makes the team out of camp unless we move some bodies.

I'm kinda surprised that David Jones didn't go back to #54

I was curious about that, too. I guess he could have wanted 19 all along. In Colorado, he couldn't wear it because of Sakic. In his first year here, Blair Jones had 19.

He wore 23 in college and the AHL, I think Hejduk (or is it d before j?) had that in Colorado

I've always remembered it as "Hedge Duck," so you're spelling it right. I guess that makes sense. He's just taking whatever number he can given he can't have the number he wants.

Hajduk is the Serbo-Croatian word for 'thief', so I always associated thievery with Hejduk. So yeah, the spelling is correct.
