ADDY: C/O Home
Morgan Rielly was the 5th overall pick in this years (2012) draft in Pittsburgh by the Leafs. The young blueliner has played the last two seasons with Moose Jaw Warriors of the WHL. On the 3rd of August this year Morgan was signed to a 3 year entry level contract by the Leafs. Morgan is known as a Offensive D-man with great puck handling skills. I believe and so do the Leaf's since they took him 5th overall that Morgan in the future is bright and he is going to be a top 2 pairing point man in the NHL for a long time. Morgan signed and inscribed his number and both cards and 5x7's and also very generously added two of his own signed cards. This is a great return from a big time prospect. Thank you Morgan.

ADDY: C/O Canes
The 9th overall selection of the 1988 NHL draft by the St. Louis Blues was Rod Brind'Amour. Rod was a one time All-Star game participant in 1992 and the Frank J. Selke (Defensive Skill) Trophy winner in 2006 and 2007. In 2006 Rod was the Captain of the Carolina Hurricanes where he lead them to a Stanley Cup Championship with 18 points in 25 games with lighting the lamp for 12 of those points. Rod in his 20 Seasons at the NHL level did get to the 1000 games played and 1000 points level during his career. Rod who works for the Canes now, the organization that retired his number 17. He signed both of my cards (for the SET!) in black sharpie. A great return from Mr. Brind'Amour.

TOTAL DAYS: 100+
ADDY: C/O SENS
Peter Regin was drafted 87th overall in the 2004 draft by the SENs. Regin is a talented Center that was hindered by a shoulder dislocation last season. Peter was resigned for a one year deal from the Sens for next season. I really think that Regin has what it takes to be a scorer and a solid 3rd or 4th line Center. Peter signed his Fleer Ultra Rookie card and inscribed his number 13 also. The card turned out great! Thanks Mr. Regin.

Sergei Gonchar was drafted 14th overall by the Caps in the 1992 draft. The five time All-Star game participant was a large part in the 2009 Championship Cup Run by the Pens where he had 14 points in 22 games with 11 of those being helpers. Evgeni Malkin gave credit to Sergei at this years NHL awards in Las Vegas while accepting the Hart Trophy f for helping him when he was starting out in the NHL and for being his best friend. Gonchar even being 38 years old, is still a large threat from the blue for the Sens. Sergei signed both cards while inscribing his number on both. Gonchar is one of my Favorite D-men of all time making this return even better. Thank you Mr. Gonchar!

ADDY: C/O home
Milan Lucic was drafted 50th overall by the Boston Bruins in the 2006 Draft. Milan is one of the most physical wingers in the game today. Not only is Milan feared to drop the gloves with but the 6 foot 4 230 pound Power Forward can also light the lamp. Milan played is a 2 time Young Guns All-Star and in 2011 was a large part of the Stanley Cup run the B's had. Milan had 12 points with lighting the Lamp 5 times during the Cup run. Milan has been apart of some controversial hits during his career, but he still is a blast to watch play even if you are not a B's fan. Milan signed both cards with inscribing his number 17. Thank you Mr. Lucic.
