L’ironman de la LNH Phil Kessel a été le #81 dans 4 équipes différentes. lorsqu’il prendra sa retraite, quelle organisation devrait retirer son numéro, le cas échéant ?

I don’t see any of them retiring his number tbh
He obviously had the most success in the burg but I don’t see them retiring his number.
Nope. In order for a team to retire your jersey number, you should have done something significant for that organization. He hasn’t done anything worthy of having his number retired.
Unretire 99 and hang up 81 across the league
His Coney Island jersey maybe 🌭
Coyotes
No one is retiring his number.
none of them will retire his number
League, 81 no longer available
Closest team I could see doing is is Pittsburgh, since he has a big hand in those championships. But it’s very slim it happens
His jersey is going to be raised to the rafters of several hot dog joints.
Retiring his number? Are you serious right now?
I mean… Ottawa is retiring Chris Neil’s #25 lol
The hot dog vendor outside each arena he’s played in.
None of the above
Probably none. But he’ll probably end up in Pittsburg’s Ring of Honor as it doesn’t seem too exclusive.
None. He’s a strict one-dimensional player who is uncoachable, which is why the Bruins traded him and he’s been on 5 teams.
The power of hot dogs
no one will do this and you know that
Nobody will but it’ll be retired in my heart 🖤💛🤍8️⃣1️⃣
Honestly, just hang a hot dog from the rafters and call it good.
He’s #8 on Vegas, correct?
I doubt any will but if one was going to it would be the Pens
As some have said, none will probably retire his number, though if he had played his whole career somewhere there would be no doubt.
The NHL should retire his number, and selling double cheeseburgers in every areas league wide.
Pittsburgh
Wienerschnitzel
He’s spent 3-5 seasons with the first 3. No possible jersey retirement in that scenario
None. If he had stayed in one place for most of his career maybe. But that is not the case.
2 cups in Pittsburgh that’s a argument
None but ill always remember him as a leaf
Zero
The NHL
Every hotdog vendor will honor him by having 81 cent dogs
If he started his career in Toronto and then went to Pittsburgh after I think you have a fair argument for Kessel being honoured in Toronto but 6 seasons of good individual production on very mediocre teams really doesn’t qualify as getting honoured. The three seasons in Boston kind of take Toronto off the table.
Phil’s peak (first two years especially) in Pittsburgh is great but he was only there for four years. Not long enough for a jersey retirement.
he’s not a great player, hes good, but he’s not worth retiring his number. he never significantly changed a team or a sport imo.
Should be all of them but will be none of them. Phil *is* a god but he’s simply not a ”retire his number”-type of player.
I forgot he was still playing. Nobody is retiring his number…
Rumor has it, he eats 81 hot dogs and practices 81 slapshots before every game
Team Oscar Mayer
Krazy Dog hotdogs will retire his number.
None but Pittsburgh seems the most memorable
