if he stayed with the team for the rest of his career i would have esaily said yes, but now it is a no. Regardless of this however, he will always be remembered as a guy with such class, and love of the game. he was injruy prone, yes, but it takes a guy with great love and character of the game to get back up when he gets knocked down, and he was knocked down very hard at times.

Good luck to him and maybe we'll see him in the playoffs soon ;)

well it worked for naslund...he never even got us out of the second round mind boggles me how his number can be retired when you compare kesler and the sedins even luongo has done more to this franchise than he has...sadly salo isnt that elite and should be in the ring for sure

but on a serious note... if you retire salos number... you need to retire bertuzzi, morrison, ohlund, jovo, lumme, and countless others. salo was an amazing player for us... but honestly, most teams save the retiring of numbers to players that lead the team to at least one stanley cup. could you see salos number going up in montreal or detriot? i love salo but.. no.

Salo was a great Canuck and it is going to hurt a little to see him in a different jersey. He played well for us and was a consistent team oriented player. Great in the community and a perfect example of what we expect from our players. However, I don't think this is enough for a ring or honor induction and definitely not a jersey retirement.

He should definitely be invited for alumni games though!
