Just let him have 72. Bailey isn’t a player and a player and mascot can have the same number. Total BS is Kings don’t let him have the number. Change Bailey to 67, year we started in NHL.
It’s kinda a nothing thing I feel, he’s had other numbers before too.
“Hey Artemi, I know you’re a superstar but our mascot wears that number. Can you choose another number please?” Luc

This is hilarious. I don’t think they will but just Change Baileys number to 67 for the creation year
Y’all leave my beautiful Bailey alone.
I dunno.
On one hand, Bailey is named after someone who died on 9/11.
On the other hand, 72 exists because it is an avg temperature for LA.
Like yeah, 72 doesn’t matter, but Bailey is a living memory of Ace.
I wouldn’t mess with it. Guy is getting 22 mil for 2 more years. For 22 mil, he can pick a different number.
I get that there’s a lot of copyright stuff involved with mascots, but for fucks sake boys. Don’t be that petty. Fucking give Bailey a blank jersey for all I care
You mean 2 time Stanley cup champion, Bailey?
Yeah this is pretty dumb and a quick way to piss off the new best player on the team. The guy already accepted a team friendly extension…give the guy the damn number
Is Bailey available to coach? Maybe we can work this out.
The Kings should do a skit where Panarin pays Bailey $11M for #72….
Why he messin’ with my boy Bailey?
I low-key be hating Bailey, but his lore is precious…
The Bread man can pick another number.
Yep. Seems to just be a social media campaign:

Why does God need a starship?!
Why does a mascot need a number?!
If you knew the history of Ailey, you would also know why he wears 72
This would pmo, honestly
Its always 72 in LA and on Bailey!
Knowing the Kings, they’re going to have some sort of skit where Panarin exchanges briefcases with Bailey. Bailey gets a bunch of cash and loafs of bread. Panarin gets the jersey number 72.
This would be a perfect time to change Bailey’s number to the year the Kings were established. Remind me, what year is that again?
Bailey will be here longer, Panarin can wear a different number. he has 22 million reasons to stfu about it.
He can be number 27
Why can’t they both be 72?? Baileys a fucking mascot, it’s not like he’s on the ice.
Jersey sales are huge when a number is changed. If course the team is changing too, but it matters.
Is this a bad marketing joke?
I say between the name the number and the history we don’t change it at all. Bailey’s going to be here long after these players leave
Bring back Kingston!
Let 72 die with old Bailey that got fired for sexual misconduct n let this new Bailey wear 73 or 74 or let them both get 72 I am sure no stats will get mixed up with both of them having 72.
