Fair enough Dani.
But honestly, my son has a few jerseys (#30 Lundqvist #10 Gaborik plus a couple of other sports too) and if they got traded, that's part of the game. But to change numbers, would just annoy me (especially when it involves the arguably most popular player in sports). But that being said, the thing that really irks me (assuming the change goes through this season) is that he is a free agent after the season and may not even be back. That's the whole insult. Sucker all these people (mostly kids), into buying a new jersey and then guess what? Next season you might have to buy another one, this time one for a different team. I just look at it as the fans being taken advantage of, because all the players and leagues care about is the cash.

Chuck your right, this issue might even be lower than miunus 18. It is really a non issue, except if you are one of the people that have to cough up the cash for new jerseys for your kids (for the record my boys have no idea who Lebron is). Like I said, it's a bit of a rant, but for some reason it struck a nerve.
