A few years back, when Lou’s Rules were in force, numbers got doled out at training camp in a way that could tell you things about a player. If a new player got to choose, he was a big shot, if he got handed a number, he wasn’t. I always liked that Calle Rosen just kept 48, it seemed a very hardheaded and stubborn thing to do. This season, only the Traverse City rookies, the juniors, and some of the new acquisitions got numbers doled out that meant nothing to them. Many others are wearing what they want to wear.
Maple Leafs fans need to know: What’s your number?
