Im dead serious, Yakupov is gonna think, "this is the guy who gets to wear my number" , Horcoff turns around "OMG, he's our captain!"

OMG i forgot about that, seriously lowe wth were u thinking.

#1 would be absolutely hilarious, i'd love it

[Fishy Scales]

Okay, I get that people hate Horcoff and he's not that good anymore. But saying he should give up his number after over 10 years with the org to a rookie...

I dunno. Not too classy guys.

And the C , this is not his team anymore.

[SilverHaireDevil]

Horc could wear 01 instead

[JetsAlternate]

I think #10 should be his number. If he can't have it because of Shawn Horcoff, he could wear #18, which looks a lot like #10 and was originally worn by his agent, Igor Larionov, when he played for the Canucks. Igor mentored Bure and had a lot to do with Pavel's early years in the NHL.

I was thinking 18 just because that was the percent chance we had of winning the lottery! Haha

[T-Funk]

It would be his draft age too right?

Why not? It worked for these guys:

[Ebs]

Doesn't everyone realize that, well, Horcoff is our MVP... He's the one who lead us to all these picks, why hatin'?

Him and Renney are in on it together, Horcs gets paid to get us draft picks. Simple as that.

When it's time to start playing, he'll be back.

Are you joking?

Lowe gave Hall his number 4 and we all know what Lowe has done for the Oilers. A hell of a lot more than Horcoff ever will.

Lowe also wasn't playing for the Oilers at the time.

Seriously people. It's getting ridiculous around here.

[HallOfGreatness4]

I was thinking #1

[Mr Forever]

Horcoff deserves to wear something like 33.

Call up number.

[Ogopogo*]

He wears #10 in Sarnia. We trade Horcoff and he gets #10 in Edmonton.

Win, win situation.

I think we would have to trade Yakupov along with Horcoff to get rid of Horcoff

[Gus Schmidt]

Has anyone suggested #12 (as in 2012)?

[BowDangles]

I think he will go with #21 like he did in the WJC. Pretty ridiculous to ask our captain to give up his number to a rookie, regardless how bad Horcs is.

I would be happy with any number except #1.

[CalgaryOilerFan]

#27 is available, guess we have to take Murray

[The Nuge]

I like the arguments for 12, 18, and 21. He probably goes with one of those and then switches to 10 when Horcoff retires

Actually veterans who are playing have quite often in the past given up their numbers to young players with star potential. It's usually just "I'm not too attached to it, and I wanna make him welcome/encourage him." kind of thing. It's not ridiculous, although I wouldn't be upset if Horc kept his number either.

Yakupov numbers I like: 10, 21

[Jaeger03]

He needs to take something in the first 10 so someday we will have 1-11 retired in the rafters. I dare to dream.

[Perro]

RNH wore a different number in junior, so not like Nail would be set on 10. I like 18 as it has been pointed out that it a) looks like 10 and b) was hte percent chance of Edmonton drafting him.
