As the Columbus Blue Jackets prepare to honor Johnny Gaudreau, there's a proposal against retiring his number. The article suggests that instead of sealing #13 in the rafters, the team should create a living tribute. Each rookie would wear #13 during their first game, fostering a continuous legacy of Gaudreau's impact on the team, rather than letting his memory fade over time. The author argues that this approach would emphasize the commitment to building a championship team and inspire future players.
