Our countdown to the 2016-17 season continues, with 16 days to go... consider this one a combined post to cover the last few days.
The Los Angeles Kings have retired six numbers in their history. The first was Rogie Vachon, the most recent was Rob Blake, and the most notable was Wayne Gretzky. In between those, the Kings took 20, 18, and 16 out of circulation, for Luc Robitaille, Dave Taylor, and Marcel Dionne (respectively). In general, you either have to be a Hall of Famer or a faithful servant to get your number retired by a franchise, and those three fit one or both criteria.
