Jonathan Blum


Jonathan Blum (1-1)
RECEIVED: 11-17-12
TOTAL DAYS: 24
ADDY: C/O Admirals AHL

Jonathan Blum was the first ever player taken in the 1st round out of Southern California.  The LBC native was drafted 23rd overal by the Preds in 2007.  Blum is a top Blue-Line prospect in the Nashville organization.  Jonathan played his Jr's hockey for the Vancouver Giants of the WHL.  In Blum's NHL career he has 56 games played with 15  points and 6 of those being goals.  With Suter leaving Smashville for the great State of Minnesota, I see this as a big opportunity for Blum to grab him self a NHL roster Spot for the Preds and being a full time NHL-er.  Blum very nicely signed and inscribed his number on the 2011-12 Score Rookie card.  This was a good return from a good Defensemen with a bright future.

Andrew Shaw


Andrew Shaw (4-4)
RECEIVED: 10-27-12
TOTAL DAYS: 8
ADDY: C/O Ice Hogs

Andew Shaw the 139th pick in the 2011 draft came out of no where last season when he was brought up to the big club and provided 23 points in 37 games for the Hawks along with 3 play off games for the young forward.  Shaw didn't wait long to make an impact for the Hawks.  In the first 3 minutes in his first NHL game he dropped the mitts with young Philly enforcer Zac "Rhino" Rinaldo and  24 minutes after that early in the 2nd Period, Shaw recorded his first goal on a back hander from Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith.  Shaw has shown he can do a-lot for the Hawks at the NHL level.  As soon as the Lockout is lifted I don't see Shaw spend much or any time at the AHL level.  Andrew signed and inscribed all four of my cards very nicely.

Nino Niederreiter


Nino Niederreiter (3-3)
RECEIVED: 10-15-12
TOTAL DAYS: 34
ADDY: C/O Islanders

El Nino was drafted 5th overall by the Islanders in the 2010 Draft.  The Portland Winterhawk product has been tearing it up as of late in the AHL with 13 points in 11 games for the Sound Tigers.  Nino had a rough Rookie season though.  Some can argue it was due to the Islanders Organization brought Niederretier up before he was ready and also who he was playing with on his line.  I see Nino to continue ripping it up in the AHL until the lockout is lifted where he will join the NHL club.  Nino's numbers should climb considerably from his Rookie Year in the NHL. He is a great scoring talent and will continue to show it as he learns to grow at the NHL level.
