We’re going to see a lot of players with Jersey numbers in the 80’s and 90’s soon

Hell, we’ve got one in the 80’s and two in the 90’s already.

And are you suggesting, SG, that Bondra’s number shouldn’t be retired?

not at all, i think the franchise leader (for now) in goals is worthy, just saying that after Bondra, next comes Kolzig, followed in 15 years or so by half of the current Caps who will have won 5 stanley cups by then….

But how many of the players from the 80’s and 90’s hold multiple club records? People loved Bonzai. Besides, Jeff Freisen learned that it was bad karma to take #12 and changed numbers. So why not retire #12.

Agreed on both counts. But I think that’s probably it for a long time.

And neither will happen for a while.
