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.

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 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.

Rick Nash

Rick Nash is a big power forward who is one of the league's most prolific goal scorers in one of the leagues smallest markets. Great to get a signature from one of the leagues best kept secrets.

Stamkos lit the league on fire in the 09-10 season by tying for the league lead by scoring 51 goals and 95 points as a 20 year old. Great for a superstar to sign TTM.

Ryan Kesler

Currently with the Vancouver Canucks.

Kesler is a great leader for the Canucks, winning the team MVP (Cyclone Taylor Award) in the 08-09 season. Ryan is a great influence on the game with his gritty style and his point production.
