Retire Butch Goring's number on April 1st, 2019 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Issue

Butch Goring was the lynchpin to the Islanders dynasty teams of the 1980's. The trade to acquire him is routinely called the best deadline trade in NHL, if not sports, history. Now that his number 91 has been vacated, it is the perfect time to finally honor him as the important member of the dynastic Islanders, and the organization to this day, that he really is.

And what better day to do that than April 1st, 2019 at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, against the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs?
