Brandon Dubinsky (4-4)
RECEIVED: 10-27-12
TOTAL DAYS: 10
ADDY: C/O Alaska Aces
Brandon Dubinsky was drafted 60th overall in the 2004 draft by the Rangers. The Portland Winterhawk product spent 6 seasons playing for the Blue Shirts and was dealt in the Rick Nash trade this summer. Dubinsky is an all around solid NHL-er. He can put the puck in the net and then next shift "Drop the Mitts" to pick up the team. Dubinsky has traveled back home during the lockout and is playing for his home town Aces. Brandon signed all four of my cards along with inscribing his number. This is a top shelf return.
Arron Asham (1-1)
RECEIVED: 8-20-12
TOTAL DAYS: 54
ADDY: C/O Home
Arron Asham was drafted 71st overall in the 1996 NHL draft. Asham is currently a member of the New York Rangers. July 1st the Rangers signed the free agent to a two year deal. As soon as Asham plays his first game with the Blue shirts he have will played with every team in the Atlantic Division. Asham is mostly a 3rd to 4th Line player now days, known for his big hitting, a big shot, no nonsense hockey that will fit right in with John Tortorella's style and oh ya he is not afraid to drop the gloves. I sent Arron a Pittsburgh jersey crest since he was apart of the Pens at the time I sent the crest. Asham was kind enough to sign it perfectly and return it back to me. Thank you Mr. Asham.
Theoren Fleury (5-4)
RECEIVED: 6-7-12
TOTAL DAYS: 57
ADDY: C/O home
Theo Fleury was taken 166th overall in the 1987 draft by the Flames. Theo was a 7 time All-Star game particpant during his career with 1088 points and a career +145 in 1084 games played at the NHL level. Fleury to add to his huge list of accomplishments Won a Stanley Cup with the Flames in 89' and won a Gold Medal with Canada in 2002. Theo all 5'6" of him might have been one of the purest scorers in the game while he played, and would have done more without some of the deamons he battled throughout his career. I read Theo's book "Playing With Fire" and I would highly recommend it to anyone even if you are not a hockey fan. It is a great read and a great story of what he overcame in his life. Theo signed all four of my cards along with answering my letter (read below). This is a great return from one of the best! Thank you Mr. Fleury.
Mike Knuble 4-4
RECEIVED: 5-24-12
TOTAL DAYS: 84 days
ADDY: C/O Caps
The Canadian Right Winger was drafted in 1991 by the Wings and has been at the NHL level since 1995. Currently Mike is playing with the Caps. Knuble has one Cup Ring when he was apart of the Red Wings in the 97-98 season. Mike's scoring dropped off a little bit this year and now is currently a unrestricted free agent, curious to see Knuble's future in the NHL for 12-13' season, he has been a solid player in the League for a long time. Mike signed all four of my cards and inscribed his number on each one. Thank you Mr. Knuble.

RECEIVED: 6-1-12
TOTAL DAYS: 15
ADDY: C/O His Foundation
Matt Cullen the Minnesota Native was drafted 35 overall by the Duck in 1996. Matt is currently with the Minnesota Wild. I have to say Matt Cullen is one of the class acts in the league today. Cullen was a big contributor in the2006 season for the Canes where he had 18 points in there Stanley Cup campaign year. Matt signed one card (tiny smudge) and a Captain Assistant "A" for me and also inscribed his number 7 on each. This is a very unique return from one of my favorites in the game today. Thanks Mr. Cullen
Nik Antropov (3-3)
TOTAL DAYS: 84
ADDY: C/O JETs
Nik Antropov was the 10th overall pick in the 1998 armature draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Nik has been one of my favorite center in the NHL for a long time. The Big body forward is currently with the Winnipeg Jets. Nik signed all three of my card in blue sharpie and inscribed his number in all three. Nik also paid my shipping cost to send the letter back to me (since i had american forever stamps on them and they have no monetary value on them). All three cards are in the same shape as when I sent them. Thank you Mr. Antropov your a class act.
Derek Stepan (2-2)
RECEIVED: 5-01-12
TOTAL DAYS: 41
ADDY: C/O Rangers
Derek Stephan the Minnesota native was drafted 51st overall in the 2008 draft by the New York Rangers. Every year Derek has improved his numbers scoring over 50 points this year and right now is playing on the 1st power-play line and the 2nd line for NYRs. Stephan has been a huge factor in the Rangers run in the playoffs this year. Both 2011 scores one glossybase and one base were signed in black sharpie and both inscribed with his number 21. Both cards are mint, look right out of the pack and the sig's are perfect. I was really pumped about this return, Stepan is one of the up and coming stars in the NHL and is centering some of the leagues best on the #1 seeded Rangers. Thank you Derek.
