Chad LaRose

Currently with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Acquired in-person October 26, 2011.

Not much of a fan of LaRose myself, but he does try hard on the ice...it's just that he doesn't have much of a brain for hockey and takes some pretty dumb penalties at times...to the amazement of only himself.  Don't you wish that every player had an autograph like "The Rocket"?

Tomas Kaberle

Currently with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Acquired in-person October 26, 2011.

Tomas Kaberle, brother of former Hurricane Frantisek Kaberle, has been mostly a disappointment for teams the last couple of years.  He has currently has no goals, two assists and has a minus-four rating so far, and Canes Country has already talked about him being a target among fans for demands to trade him.  However, only being nine games in and the Hurricanes not being completely out of the playoff race this early on, I don't see Jim Rutherford making any attempts right now to get rid of him (I'd personally rather JR gotten his head out of his ass and never re-signed Pitkanen, but that's just my opinion).

Zac Dalpe

Acquired in-person October 26, 2011.

Splitting time between the Charlotte Checkers and Carolina Hurricanes.

Another autograph acquired at the Season Ticket Holder autograph session that I was able to sneak into with a season ticket holder friend's passes.  I'll have to look, but I thought that The Hockey News had Dalpe on the list of top prospects in the Hurricanes organization, maybe even the list of top overall prospects in the NHL, but I'm not sure...all I know is that there were several from the Hurricanes, but I think that the Kings had the most top prospects, led by Brayden Schenn (now with the Philadelphia Flyers organization).

Another JM autograph...Jamie McBain that is.

Currently with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Acquired in-person October 26, 2011.

Some Hurricanes fans (specifically the guys from Canes Country), thought that McBain, who garnered 10 points in 14 games in his first taste of NHL service, would be a candidate for the Calder Trophy in his first full NHL season.  Although he did notch seven goals and 23 assists in 76 NHL games in 2010-11, his minus-eight rating didn't let him come close to being nominated.  Of course, then again, he would have had to put up Jeff Skinner numbers in points and be about a plus-five at worst in order to beat out his teammate (Okay, not 60 points...maybe 40).

Jiri Tlusty

Currently with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Acquired in-person October 26, 2011.

One would think that a former 13th overall pick from the 2006 NHL Entry Draft would be doing just fine now in the NHL...until you remember that it was Jiri Tlusty who was drafted 13th overall in 2006.  Maybe I should stop bashing some of these players...well...nah.  His signature borders on Cam Ward sloppiness.

Jeff Skinner

Acquired in-person October 26, 2011.

The top rookie from last season already has four goals and six assists in nine games so far this season and has made many already think that there will not be a sophomore slump for the 19-year old forward drafted seventh overall in 2010.  Let's hope that he never gets a Heatley smile.

Jay Harrison

Currently with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Acquired in-person October 26, 2011.

Jonathan Toews

Fan letter sent May 18, 2011.

3/3 Autographed cards received October 8, 2011.

Another great return from a Blackhawk (Marty Turco being the other)!!!  Despite notching zero goals and three assists in the 2010 Cup Final, Chicago's captain (the youngest to be named captain by a team in NHL history and the youngest to captain a Stanley Cup Champion) was still instrumental to ending the Blackhawks 49-year Cup drought, having led all players in points with 29 in the 2010 Playoffs.  He also notched a career-high 76 points and a plus-25 in 80 games played in the 2010-11 NHL Season.  The only problem I have is that I can only barely make out the "J" and "T" in his signature, although the "19" is legible...but I've seen worse.

Cam Ward Autographed Photo

Currently with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Acquired through the Carolina Hurricanes gift incentive program.

Kind of got lucky as I didn't know for several months who I got with my points from getting two 26-game plan season tickets with the Carolina Hurricanes. If you can't tell already I live fairly near Raleigh, NC, so a lot of my autographs will obviously be of Hurricanes players. I was really hoping for a Jeff Skinner autographed 8x10 photo, but Cam is my favorite player so I'm pretty pleased, although as Sal said, Ward's autograph really is sloppy.
