Justin Schultz

A few summers ago, Justin Schultz was one of the top young unrestricted free agents that there's ever been during the NHL cap-era.
Justin was a member of the NHL All Rookie team in his first year, but more impressively, collected his first Stanley Cup ring last season when Pittsburgh defeated San Jose.

Matt Frattin

Matt Frattin is currently an AHL player but had stints with the Toronto Maple Leafs team that took Boston to 7, and the LA Kings.
Matt was traded back to Toronto where he was a depth player, but excelled with the Toronto Marlies.

Brian Gionta

Brian Gionta is currently captain of the Buffalo Sabres. In 2002-2003, Brian won the Stanley Cup as a member of the New Jersey Devils, beating out the Anaheim Ducks for the prize.

David Clarkson

David Clarkson

Currently with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Clarkson was once a feared player as a gritty, tenacious forward who had the ability to score 20+ a year. Toronto signed him to a monster deal and subsequently dealt him away for cap relief.

A year after the trade - David has reoccurring health problems and his career may sadly be over.

Carey Price

Currently with the Montreal Canadiens

Fan letter sent: ???
Autograph received: ???
Wait time: +365 days
Despite my dislike for Montreal, the team has some high calibre players, and they're among the top teams in the league at returning cards TTM. Case in point, the greatest player in the NHL, Carey Price has returned 4 of my cards over the years signed. 

James van Riemsdyk

Currently with the Toronto Maple Leafs

Wait time: +365 days easily

JVR is a big power forward who is a strong player for the rebuilding Leafs. Nobody's as good as James in scoring goals into the upper half of the net from a foot out.

Luke Schenn

Luke Schenn

Currently with the Toronto Maple Leafs

Fan letter sent: Late February - Early March
Autograph received: Summer 2011
Wait time: +365 days

Luke Schenn is one of my favourite players in the league. He's a beast and he plays for the Leafs. What more can I say other than I thought this card wasn't coming back. I forgot to document when I got this back but I am certain it was over a year.
