So who gets to wear #22

[PromoTheRobot]

Both players are #1 picks. Quinn has already worn 22 with the Sabres. But Power could join the team before Quinn does. So who gets it?

Quinn already wore it no?

I’ve been wearing it for years, so I should have some sort of involvement.

Give Power #20, to channel some Chris Pronger into his veins.

This isn’t a question to me. Quinn is a big part of the Sabres future and already has it.

The only way Power takes 22 from Quinn is if Quinn lets him.

Power’s other number (Team Canada) is 25, which is also taken, but by R2, a player with a much more tenuous Sabres future. That is more interesting.

Personally, I’d love to see Power grab 5, or even 3 or 6 - great defencemen numbers.

Ideally, he’d be 2, but that door has been closed (wrongly, IMO, but that’s another discussion).

Quinn he had it first.

Give Power 44 for 22 x 2 since he is probably twice as good as Quinn.

Just kidding with the NASCAR # @Eleven.

I like the idea of #20 for Power @French Collection.

There are some higher numbers that could be incredibly aesthetic on the back of a half-tucked jersey worn by a monster defenseman. 

Hedman is example

44 would be dope

Okay, but I'm with @dudacek on this and like low numbers for D men.  Nothing higher than 20.

I agree. Single digit please.

Pronger wore #44 with St Louis. In their rafters now.

I’m good with it.

[Curt]

I always assumed that Quinn would wear 22, since he has already worn it, and Power would wear 25, the number he has worn for team Canada.

What happens when we retire Cody Eakin's jersey?

He would switch to 02 ...

[Flashsabre]

Power wears 25 when he plays for Canada so that is my guess if they can get Grigorenko’s blessing.😜

Pronger wore that in Anaheim or Edmonton I think, seeing a trend here?

I just want him to be hard to play against, I realize he’s no Pronger. I also don’t want him suspended all the time.

I want Power to have some snarl to his game.

Cody Eakin is going to have that number retired so no dice

Rip it off his back during Power’s introduction.

Quinn gets  22

Power either 3, 4 (take away from butcher), 5 or 6. Single digit defenseman numbers.  Classic.   

[Eleven]

22 should be retired anyway, if they're going to retire 16 and 18.  22 was worn by the best coach in team history.

Not 6 though maybe... that was the big redheads number.

I would not retire any of those numbers.

Nor would I--it's somewhat of an in-joke for people who have put up with me here for 16 years.  

I would retire only 11 and 39 because of the players, and 2 because of the death.
