I'm sure everyone here knows the tragic story of Dan Snyder.
Do you think we should retire his number (37) when the team comes?
If not by retiring his number, I hope we're able to honor him in some other way.

While a tragedy, it was the community in Atlanta's tragedy as well as the Snyder family's. In my opinion, it would be slightly patronizing. No one who played on the team with Dan plays on the team now, so adding that the team would not be in Atlanta, the coaching staff and org has had significant change, it doesn't resemble the team he was apart of. I would akin it to Phoenix retiring Ducky's jersey. It's a nice thought, but not really appropriate.

I think the Dan Snyder tragedy means alot to the Atlanta Thrasher fans, and I don't think it's a bad idea to do something to remember Snyder, just sooner than later. ...i think that also includes hating Dany Heatley.
Phoenix retiring Ducky's #10 is funny because they did it after how many years since he last wore a Jets jersey.

I'm not sure that is proper, but a remembrance of some sort should hold some value, that would be good.
You don't want to to that stranger, sticking your nose where it has no business.

Snyder had nothing to do with Winnipeg. We should honour Winnipeg hockey history. We can retire Hawerchuk, Hull, Steen, and Selanne (when he retires). |

1. This is a (sad) ATL story - no real significance in the WPG market.
2. Nothing wrong about hating Heatley.
