Rumor: Potential numbers for our new players

[ChaoticOrange]

Welcome back Petry and Gilbert!



77 seems pretty random to me, although I guess it was the best alternative to 7 or 17.

I'm borderline offended by any comparisons of Klefbom to Gilbert

62 really is a disgusting number. Just horrible. It's like that beer league guy whose first choice of number is 46, and his backup is 72.

McDavid
100

amirite?

 

[McPuritania]

Here they are!

77 is such a sexy number. Gonna look real sweet on Klef's jersey.

Pretty interesting:

McDavid will be the first player to wear #97, pretty cool

That's insane that there is still numbers no one has ever taken.

Presumably you mean for the Oilers.

Otherwise Jeremy Roenick says, "Hi."

Interesting that Klefbom chose 77. I wonder what made him take that number. Feels kinda weird changing to 77 just after a fellow, young swedish defenseman had his coming-out-party with that number this past spring...(Victor Hedman). Or maybe he was just a huge fan of Anton Belov and wanted to follow in his footsteps

 

[Del Preston]

Korpikoski will wear #28 according to the Oilers' site.

 

[JayTam]

don't like the 77 For Klefa, prefer 84 for him!

 

[Del Preston]

Anders Nilsson will be wearing #39.

 

[CornKicker]

Anders Nilsson will be wearing #39.

over/under on people complaining about it will be set at 4.5

 

[smokersarejokers]

Anders Nilsson will be wearing #39.

I saw that. Weird goalie number, for sure. The only other goalie I remember wearing 39 was DiPietro.

I wonder if he and Nilsson were good buddies on the Island or in Bridgeport?

Didn't Hasek also wear #39.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Anders Nilsson will be wearing #39.

Maybe he's trying to channel some history and saw that Doug Weight came over from New York (albeit the Rangers) and really came into his own after arriving in Edmonton so he thought,"Hey, if I take #39...maybe, just maybe..." You know, or whatever that translates to in Swedish.

 

[Arpeggio]

Didn't Hasek also wear #39.

No definitely not. I'm 100% sure he did not. Don't even have to look it up to know he didn't wear #39.

 

[smokersarejokers]

Wow! How could I forget Hasek? Who remembers DiPietro before the Dominator? haha

 

[Narnia]

No definitely not. I'm 100% sure he did not. Don't even have to look it up to know he didn't wear #39.

He did wear #39. Check Hockeydb.

 

[Raoul Duke]

Very nice.

 

[J4M13M]

Clearly a fan of Travis Green.
