Casey Wellman is an undrafted hockey player who currently plays for the Minnesota Wild/Houston Aeros.  He split his time playing in the NHL and AHL this past season, playing 15 games with the Wild and 42 with the Aeros.  I wish the best of luck to Casey, because if he becomes a real NHL superstar, this card will mean that much more to me!

Andrew Brunette signed this OPC 2008 card which features him in a Colorado Avalanche, but shows him as a member of the Minnesota Wild.  I like Andrew's autograph which features a large A and B and jersey number.  Andrew is a decent player putting up about 750 points in over 1000 games.  Good job Andrew!

Nice! A decent auto from Niklas Backstrom, the goaltender for the Minnesota Wild.  Although it looks like the ink didn't stick as well as I had hoped, I'm still very glad he returned my fan mail.  Niklas Backstrom is definitely a top goaltender in the NHL and I'm positive he'll be around for years to come.

I got Kurtis Fosters' autograph while the Oilers were in town.  Kurtis is one of the taller players on the team, so it isn't hard to miss him!  Kurtis has played for three other teams before landing in Edmonton.  Thanks for signing Kurtis!
