I've always had a fascination with jersey numbers; in many ways they tell you something about a player. They might reveal someone's hockey hero, if someone is a traditionalist/old-fashioned in their number picking (no. 2-8 for defensemen, for example) if they just chose the last two numbers of their birth year, etc.

My question to you, SCH readers, is what number would you pick if you were drafted/signed by the Hawks? (the retired numbers are still retired, no cheating). I am eager to see the answers.
