With the news of Tim Stueztle choosing his new number, it had me thinking. The Ottawa Senators have 3 retired Jersey Numbers (4 if you count Wayne Gretzky‘s #99, which was retired throughout the entirety of the NHL after he retired) The Ottawa Senators have retired the following numbers:
# 4 In honour of Chris Phillips,
# 8 In honour of Frank Finnigan,
#11 In honour of Daniel Alfredsson,
While I know that it’s already been talked about, I want to debate which Ottawa Senator has the best chance of their jersey being retired next.
