Eklund: Contest: Name a player whose number SHOULD be retired, but isn't.

I'd love to see Jaromir Jagar's number go up to the roof in Pittsburgh.

Sergei Fedorov. Detroit. #91

What number was Franson. Best Corsi ever. Keller and Schmaltz will eventually be retired, but only after they hit 85-90 points on a regular basis.

Detroit has a few for sure. For my habs I'd say eventually say Markov

Not Pelle Lindberg.

Forget about number 31 - the number you should remember is .24 - his blood alcohol level the night he died.

Yeah, sorry.

The second he officially retires it’s going to happen.

28 - Steve Larmer

Mark Recchi was Elected to HHoF and has excellent Stats with the Flyers and played his Prime Seasons in O&B, much more than any of his other Teams... he fits the usual Requirements they have gone by of late -- Howe/Lindros -- But, since they haven't placed him in the Flyers HoF yet, it's not looking to good right now... Rex's number has not but should.

Pelle Lindbergh will never be... due to the circumstances of his death... and his too short Career.

Sergei Fedorov. Detroit. #91

I have to agree with #91, he was exciting to watch and he made a lot of money for the organization!
He could change is foot speed in less then a blink of your eye. Rare player.

What about league wide choices?

I’m surprised his number is not. He was a big part of all Detroit’s cups. His stats are great with the Wings, especially how insanely clutch he was in OT. And just the publicity he brought to that organization. Living in Southern California and going to Kings games a lot that was definitely the Jersey all the Wings fans were wearing in the mid to late 90s and early 00s, 2 of my best hockey buddies are huge Detroit fans because of Fedorov. Definitely a number that should be up in Detroit.

Alex Mogilny

First Russian to defect from Soviet Union

First non North American to lead the league in goals

First Russian named to an all star team

And first Russian captain

Jagr in Pittsburgh because they should have just gone ahead and done it already. Yes, he’s still playing I. Czech but who cares? Do it already. No one wants to wait another three years or however long it takes him to stop playing. He’s earned it and it’s time.

Despite all that publicity...you spell his name wrong. Of all the superstars in this league, for some reason, maybe 50% of the hockey world makes the same mistake you did. Not sure why. Far more complicated names are rarely incorrect. But Fedorov is often wrong.

J.S. Giguerre changed the course of the franchise in Anaheim. #35 should be hanging from the rafters at Honda Center alongside 8 and 9.

Georges Vézina. the guy has a trophee to his name!!
NHL included him on their list of the 100 greatest players in league history.
1st ever to record a shutout, 9-0 againts the former Leafs.

Fedorov and Lidstrom are often Federov and Lindstrom.
