Hey look, something new!

Hello Cannon faithful! Things have been pretty dull around here the last few days, with everything centered around the playoffs, and all. I'll be posting some new content pretty soon, and until then I'm coming to you for some advice. First, a little background. My first (and only) CBJ jersey is that of Rick Nash. Its getting pretty old, it was his jersey pre-"A" and obviously, pre- "C." Not to say its in bad shape, I'm very very picky about keeping my jerseys in great condition.
The time has come for me to buy a new jersey, and with the help of a recent birthday gift (a gift certificate for shop.NHL.com, cheap plug) I am starting to look around. I already have established a collection of jerseys from various athletes in every sport. My goal is to someday have a jersey with every number from 1-99 on it. Sound crazy? Could be.
My current collection includes:
#2 - Malcolm Jenkins
#10 - Troy Smith
#17 - Braylon Edwards
#20 - Greg Oden
#25 - Antonio Pittman
#33 - James Laurinaitis
#36 - Chris Spielman
#46 - Me (high school football)
#47 - AJ Hawk
#48 - Travis Hafner
#61 - Rick Nash
So here's what I'm looking for. Since I have a CBJ forward's jersey, I'd like to get a defenseman's, and a d-man that is or has been a staple of this team. This narrows it down to: Commie, Hejda, Rusty, Methot, Russ, Fedor.
I'm also trying to eliminate duplicate numbers, if at all possible. That takes Russ out of the picture. Although I'm not against making an exception - I think it would be great sporting his jersey around town. Plus with him being so young, I figure he'll be around at least a few more years, probably make it easier to get him to sign it.
Now I ask you, Jackets fans, what do I do!?!? Do I pick a current player or go back in time, and go with an Anders Eriksson, Lyle Odelein, Jaroslav Spacek, Jamie Heward maybe? How about a Dick Tarnstrom (just kidding) or a Christian Backman (definitely kidding).
FYI, if you haven't been to shop.NHL.com you can buy a blank jersey, and have it customized with a player and their number. This is the route to go if you can't seem to find your favorite player's gear in the Blue Line (I just know you're dying to get that Nathan Paetsch jersey). It also allows to re-create a jersey from someone who is no longer with the team.
Please vote and leave any other ideas you have!!!

I’d say either Klesla or Russell, Klesla has been CBJ all-time. I think either a Mase or Vermette for me.

If I go Klesla, should I go #97 or his old number. He wore something in the 40’s his rookie year didn’t he?

honestly, i would wait to see what they do with this “3rd” jersey they have in the makings for next season, get a 3rd Klesla if they are badass *(the cannon should be in the front of the pack for main logo). IF you want something now!, then I suggest going for either jersey design you dig most. The old CBJ banner and stick or The Star and Flag combo they sport now?

Yes, Rusty wore 44 in the early years. If you go with Rusty I can make a case for both numbers… since you are trying to go from 1-99 I would say from that standpoint you go with the 97 jersey. I can’t think of anyone else wearing that number that I would want the jersey of…. BUT, if you like the retro thing I can see going with 44. Me, I go with the current 97 jersey.
Can’t it be both? lol

I like Boll but I keep hearing he is probably getting traded and we are just going to have Dorsett pick up where Boll left off. I hope we keep Boll tho.

don’t get me wrong, i like boll and all, but he’s a little redundant on this roster, and Dorsette has a little more offense.

I agree with Klesla
If your goal is to get a player for every number, then I would go with Klesla because he fits the bill as a jackets staple and another #97 is gonna be pretty a tough get in pretty much every sport (other than football).
To any Ohio natives
Bonus points for whoever guesses which jersey I’m least proud of owning…

I would NEVER own a Braylon Edwards jersey. I understand why you have it but I personally would have set it on fire.
In my defense, it was pre-stone hands. I’m going to put a piece of duct tape over the name and write “Sipe” on it.

As a couple other people said, I would go 97 because its gonna be hard to get that in another sport.

Yeah I’m definitely leaning that way.

Just to warn you...
Whichever way you go, if you’re planning to get a replica jersey instead of an authentic, I would just get the blank jersey from NHL.com and then take it to the Blue Line to get customized. It costs the same amount of money and the quality is WAY better. I got my jersey done with the fully stitched authentic lettering and it’s held up great – I know people who have gotten the heat sealed lettering from NHL.com who started having letters and numbers fall off the jersey after being cleaned too many times.
Know if I can get an old replica jersey that has the CBJ logo with the green stick on the front? If I go Klesla, I think it’ll be #44 and it would have to be the style of jersey he wore at the time. I’m picky like that lol.
