Shumway Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'd hardly call Kopecky a 'top signee' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarsofthumper Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 When Pronger was first traded to the Flyers, he was listed on the roster as #25, and Matt Carle had been switched to #20. Today, those numbers flip-flopped. A press conference is tentatively scheduled for next week to introduce the new Flyers, so I guess we'll see what the actual truth is then. I would imagine that Boucher would keep his #33, and Laperriere would keep his #14 (or #22, which he's worn before), because they're both available. I'm just really anxious to see what Pronger's # is going to be, because I already ordered his jersey, and I want to make sure I get the right # on it.Laperriere probably gets 14 if he wants it, but for the moment that's actually Andreas Nodl's number. Anyone have confirmation of Kopecky and Hossa's numbers? Usually those team websites don't change their numbers when they're first listed. Hossa may go back to 18 and Kopecky back to 28.Ray Emery chooses 29 because 1's retired. the Blackhawks confirmed it via their official Twitter page @ twitter.com/NHLblackhawksAlso #18 is retired for Denis Savard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 No, 18's freed up. They fired the #18 banner and reassigned it to "official team ambassador." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timaa Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Laperriere probably gets 14 if he wants it, but for the moment that's actually Andreas Nodl's number.Yeah, I remember Nodl wearing #14 in his time with the Flyers last year, but they've got him wearing #15 in the upcoming prospects camp. They've also got JVR wearing his #21, so I think they tend to give the guys who have a legit shot of making the big club the actual number they'd be wearing. I think this is their way of saying #14 is no longer yours, Andreas. Here's the full list of Flyers prospects participating in their prospects camp next week, if anybody cares:Forwards61 Josh Beaulieu, RWLast season: Phila. (AHL)53 Rob Bellamy, RWPhila.

BBTV Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 CWx - how much different is the current throwback orange from the '90s orange?
