I don't own one so not a problem for me either way. It might be cool to own two...one for when the team sucked (#15) and one for when they finally get good (#9). I just think it would upset some people who identify Jack with #15 and have spent money for his jersey, kids especially. Maybe I'm wrong.
The Sabres aren't in a position to offer sheet this year anyway. The fly in the ointment is the conditional 4th in the Sheary/Hunwick deal which could turn into a 3rd. You have to use your own draft picks as compensation in an offer sheet package, if I'm not mistaken.
