I say they should take #37 out of circulation, like they did in the Thrashers.

I don't know. I don't find this coincidence all that interesting. Was Rypien even ever officially a member of the Winnipeg Jets? He was signed to play the upcoming season. I'm not sure of the exact rules. Just another technicality.

Is Chevy or Zinger a Jet of course they are. What about Ladd he just signed.

Is Chevy or Zinger a Jet of course they are. Players contracts are govern by the CBA, not managers.

Wow a good old chicken before the egg debate.
BTW he would not have worn 37 here.

What is with the age of 27? Is that an age when depression hits the hardest? So many high profile suicides at that age.

Pure coincidence but excellent point by the op. Never put that together. I say retire the number just in case though

Rypien was listed as #11 with the Jets (the same number he wore for the Moose before his second stint with them).

But, there is a connection: #37 was worn by former Moose captain Dallas Eakins to honour his friend Dan Snyder. Rypien wore #37 for the Moose last season. A weak connection, but a connection nonetheless. And, yes, pure coincidence.
