So who will be the next Canes player to have his number retired?

I think it will probablly be Wesley then Brindy, thoose seem like no brainers.

How about some people with an outside change...

Artus Irbe? Where would the franchise be now if not gor Irbe? He played tons of games his first 4 seasons did not have a losing record during thoose times, 2 playoff apperances, and loved by a good portion of the fan base. He is the Carolina franchise leader in games played by a goalie (299), wins (125) and shutouts (20).

Wesley, I think there's a decent chance. Definitely Brindy. Lots of teams have great players, but retiring a number, IMO, should be left to the absolute stand-alone players in an organization's history. I don't think Irbe falls under that category. I love him and all, and lots of others did too, but seriously, if you take away 2001-2002, there's not much that makes him stand out in this org. Being a fan favorite, i dunno, does that get you your number retired? I'd be pretty hesitant to say yes.

That's a good question though.

I dont think wesley or brind'amour fall into that category. Brindy very well could before his time here is up, but not yet.

Retiring a number should be reserved for those guys that redefined the organization, were invaluable. Wesley has been a key player, but he is not one of those types of players imo.

I agree. it's not for fan-favorites. it's not for guys who "helped make a difference". it's for guys who carried the team. for years.

I think Brindy could be there by the end... though it's not a given. I don't really see anyone else in the near future fitting the criteria though.

Perhaps the "Ring of Honor" and retiring your number are two different things? The Ring of Honor could be for special players, but not quite great enough to have your number retired. Wesley would fit in that criteria IMO.

But I agree, retiring one's number should only be done for the extra, extra special.

According to the articles I read when they were retiring #10, his number isn't officially retired but it is out of rotation. Whatever that means. I guess if a really special player came in and wanted it, they would give it to him but no one has had the guts to do so.

Gordie's 9 is on the unofficial list, too.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Chiasson's number, as JJ wears 3.

Brind'Amour and Wesely. In the not so distant future.

in the distant future, (over 5 years) I think Kevyn Adams is a borderline candidate. He should at least be a Captain at some point.

FAAAAAR off, nobody unless Staal sticks around his entire career. ;)

I don't know about K. Adams. He's gotta stick around for a LOT longer, and finish out his career here, if he wants to have a chance at number retirement -- and even in that circumstance, it would be a case of a 'lifetime achievement' award of sorts -- not due to incredible stats or carrying the team, really.

right but hes expressed interest in staying here until his career is finsihed.

that will probably be at least 10 seasons in a canes sweater. His leadership is impeccable, and hes the type of player taht brings all the stuff you cant measure.

Retirement of #14 may not be in his future, but im saying he will definately be considered for some sort of honoring. And hes the only one right now that i can think of that would even qualify for any sort of consideration.

there's a big difference between "some sort of honoring" (which I believe we'd do for most guys that were here for a number of years and retired from here)... and the retirment of a # preventing any future player Ever wearing it.

I agree that of the current crop of the elderly ( ;) ), only Brind'Amour may be a candidate for retirement of his jersey and that will depend on how far this team goes in the current and near future years. Francis' jersey was retired based not only on his time and contributions to the Whalers/Hurricanes, but to hockey. His name is all over the record books and that's what retiring a jersey requires IMO.

To continue the comparison, a player needs to be to the Canes what DT was to the Pack to warrant retiring of his jersey. He was the most incredible basketball player I ever saw, up to and including Michael Jordan. Thompson played under a whole other set of rules. Can't imagine how good he would have been with the current rules in place.

I think a good idea as to honor players would be to just make a smaller banner than what Francis has and just Hang their names up there with the jersey number, the number will still be good to use but the overall point is to honor that player. Right now I dont see a reason as to why the canes would retire another number on this team, unless we win the next 5 cups and rack up a lot of awards during that time.

On this same note, I have a question... do we officially have Chiasson's numbe retired? I mean, nobody's worn 3 in years, so maybe it's just kind of assumed that nobody will take it?

According to the articles I read when they were retiring #10, his number isn't officially retired but it is out of rotation. Whatever that means. I guess if a really special player came in and wanted it, they would give it to him but no one has had the guts to do so.

Same situation as the Flyers and Pelle Lindbergh... His #31 isn't "retired", but it's been 20 years and nobody's worn it yet....

Look at it this way:

Would you want to wear the number of a man who died suddenly and unexpectedly during (or right after) the season like Pelle and Chase did? That's kinda...well, ghoulish.

On this same note, I have a question... do we officially have Chiasson's numbe retired? I mean, nobody's worn 3 in years, so maybe it's just kind of assumed that nobody will take it?

According to the articles I read when they were retiring #10, his number isn't officially retired but it is out of rotation. Whatever that means. I guess if a really special player came in and wanted it, they would give it to him but no one has had the guts to do so.

Same situation as the Flyers and Pelle Lindbergh... His #31 isn't "retired", but it's been 20 years and nobody's worn it yet....

Look at it this way:

Would you want to wear the number of a man who died suddenly and unexpectedly during (or right after) the season like Pelle and Chase did? That's kinda...well, ghoulish.

From what little of Johnson I have heard, it doesn't sound like it's something that would make him NOT wear the number. It might even make him want it all the more.

Well yes and no. I think more "no" in the sense that the players would just feel a little more than creeped-out (rather than worrying about incurring the wrath of the departed).

it's never just a number... otherwise guys wouldn't care which #'s they were given when they get to a team. that is Rarely the case though. sometimes it's a major issue with a trade coming in and you have two guys who want 18 or something.

I grew up playing many sports for many many years. I was always either 13 or 7. 13 whenever I could get it.. 7 was my backup.
and I stopped, for the most part, around college-age. so if I had continued for another 4-5years past that, and had a shot to go pro in a sport... ya damn right I'd be wanting 13. or at the least, my backup #.

they are not just #'s to most athletes. they carry a life's worth of playing in most cases.
