who's the first number?

st louis 26

 

[Rebels57]

Deserving. He had a great career there.

 

[Kane One]

Next up Brad Richards?

 

[These Are The Days]

Not surprised at all. There were some who wanted to see his number retired before St. Louis

 

[The Macho King]

Next up Brad Richards?

Nah - no one else goes up until Stamkos/Hedman retire (hopefully years from now).

 

[These Are The Days]

Next up Brad Richards?

Not gonna happen. 19 has been issued at least once since he eft. The next retirement won't be until 77 and 91 go up in about 10 to 15 more years at least.

Nah - no one else goes up until Stamkos/Hedman retire (hopefully years from now).

Pretty much this. Anyone else has a ways to go yet

 

[CapnZin]

Apparently It'll be TBL v LAK for his number retirement. Not PHI. Kinda funny, he must not like philly.

I was hoping it'd be Calgary.

Still salty about MSL's exit? Because IMO, he is the GOAT Bolt and deserved to be our first retired jersey.

That's if he sticks around long enough. Right now he's in Brad Richards territory and that's not enough to warrant retirement of his number. In half a dozen years at his current rate it won't be a question and you'll be right

that was my point, my dude

we'll see

 

[Seanaconda]

that was my point, my dude

we'll see

Kuch has been better for Tampa for like the last three years. Signed an amazingly team friendly deal

 

[These Are The Days]

that was my point, my dude

we'll see

Ahhh I thought you meant he was worthy of his number being retired now.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Ahhh I thought you meant he was worthy of his number being retired now.

obviously not yet, just one elite season isn't enough.

he's a real stud though hopefully he keeps it up

He probably is as warranted as hedman

At this point of both of their careers. If either of them leaves they won't be retired.

Richards got the smythe for their cup win he is most likely to be retired next

 

[VoluntaryDom]

He probably is as warranted as hedman

nah hedman set franchise dman points in a season record and has been best dman on the team for years now. kuch only been best forward on team for 1-2 years at most

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

and a certain Russian winger

hell yeah, FedEx was the man

Or L.A. still has more guys that he played with...

 

[Seanaconda]

nah hedman set franchise dman points in a season record and has been best dman on the team for years now. kuch only been best forward on team for 1-2 years at most

kuch has like three years as a regular other than his rookie season and 2 of those he was best forward . One he was third. But yeah hedmans random 70 point season was impressive

Still don't think either is a lock unless they stay in Tampa longer or win a cup

About time, after all he was the Michael Jackson of hockey.
