I've told anyone that's asked that I'll be picking up one of those new Sens jersey. I have an old black and red one, so it'd make sense to get the new white Reebok Edge design to complete the tri-fecta of colours available. So the next question: What player to put on the back of it?

Aside from picking players you're not 100% sure will still be on the team (see yesterday's post), is it weird for a 30 something guy to have a player that's 23 years old on his jersey?

I mean, I like Jason Spezza for example, and he might be considered a good choice. But geez, he's almost a decade younger than me.

Mike Fisher just signed a five-year extension so it looks like he'll be sticking around Ottawa for a little while. Now he's not so bad age wise, in that he's about 5 years younger than me. But still...

So I'm thinking Daniel Alfredsson might be the answer. He's older than me by a whopping 2 years, he's also the team captain so you get a nice "C" on the front of your jersey. But I already have his name on my red sweater, so do I want the same player again?

This may seem trivial, but serious fans have to sort through these types of decisions all the time.
