Will DeSmith wear #1?

[Crimson JH]

That’s a big role number to take as a backup…

Only if Demmer sucks outta the gate. However I don't see that happening. 

 

Editing right now...........Oh sh*t! I only read the title. Misunderstood the op's question. Apologies.

 

Honestly, I don't know if anyone is wearing #1 as of now. If it's available....why not?!?!?!?!?!? Has that always been his number in his hockey career?

 

Edit again............Reading is key, kids!

Why not, if he earns #2 then he's got NHL seniority.

#1 never officially retired for either MacLean or Luongo; and there never any history with it that we should prevent future players from wearing it. Having said that, if I were him, I won't want that number. The number was worn by 2 Canuck legends, I would feel a lot of pressure wearing it as a back-up goalie.

[Jess]

If it's not retired, then grab it. No concerns from me.

desmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiith just doesn't have that luuuuuuuuuu ring to it. 

[King Heffy]

That question was answered when McLean and Lu went into the ROH instead of having the number retired.

Out of respect, I doubt it, but I kind of hope he does for Luongos tweets.

I expect a strongly worded tweet from Strombone

[CanucksCountry]

I really hope he doesn't but will understand why if chooses to do so  

[Integra250]

Will probably be 31 or 41

[MeanSeanBean]

I see no reason why not

Why not 111?  

[HIWATT]

Go numberless.
Or roman numerals.

Just like Ken Dryden. Nice. 

[Snoop Hogg]

When did Will Smith had “De” to his surname?

[Hammertime]

It's not retired but I kinda feel he has to earn that number a bit a backup shouldn't have rights to it. If Demko wanted to wear it I think that would be fine.

I think that #1 isn’t exactly a good number suitable for backup goalie.
