  1. 1. Which number do you prefer for Eichel?

But if he gets his choice, does he switch?

I have no problem with him in 37.  I think it would have been cool if Eich had kept 41.  They could have started a whole new trend in team numbering, where the stars take the numbers just above the traditional goalie 30-somethings.

Another thought:  What number does Mittelstadt play in this year?  Surely he doesn't keep 37?

37 was his choice

Right. This isn't a matter of him reconciling himself to a sh1tty NASCAR number that Ripper assigned to him. They let him choose, and this is what he chose.

(And I thought it was an odd choice. Even so: Curtis Brown was a perfectly fine Sabre!)

I thought it was sort of weird, but I like it. 3 and 7 are the two numbers humans are most likely to randomly select between one and ten. He seems like the type that doesn't care too much about his number (and there's nothing wrong with caring about what number you wear).

He had previously worn:

11 with team USA & in HS (retired)

14 with team USA (retired)

16 with team USA (retired)

20 with the USHL & team USA (taken by Scott Wilson)

21 with Minnesota (taken by Kyle Okposo)

22 with team USA (taken by Johan Larsson)

He wore 77 in dev camp but likely didn't have a connection to it and never officially wore it with the team.

I will forever rail against this as one of the dumbest sports opinions. It’s condescending and useless. What are people accomplishing by telling somebody else what they can and can’t wear and why do you care so much? Let people spend their money and wear their money how they want.

Easy Big Hoss.....I don't believe I told anyone to do anything. Please, wear it with pride......and one of those propeller hats.

OK, that's funny.

Clearly Casey is going to wear either the Infinity symbol, or the Alpha/Omega symbol. 

 

Numbers aren't worthy of Stadts

If they actually allowed players to wear that stuff, Kessel would have long ago switched to pi.

Here's one close enough to team colors. It even has an elastic chinstrap for your convenience...

I saw some people saying he’s just trolling and covered up 15 but you can very clearly see #9 on the helmet. Cool.

yeah, clearly #9 on the bucket.   not sure how i feel about this...

He was doing Bauer stuff recently but that’s clearly the HarborCenter, so I’m curious if this is more Bauer stuff or something the team is doing to reveal the number via twitter.

It looks right.

I can't find the quote about when he chose 15 - but he alluded to the fact that he likes the low numbers. 9 is good and low.

YES!
