Jeff Petry TTM Success

Mailed:  12/12/2013
Received:  6/5/2014
Days:  175
c/o: Edmonton Oilers

Jeff played 3 years of NCAA at Michigan State before joining the Oilers farm affiliates for a year and a half.  Since then, he has been a full timer in their lineup.  He had 17 points in 80 games this past season.  The Oilers are a team that usually send out their mail requests after the season has ended.  I have received several Oilers requests back in the last few weeks.

Andrew Ference TTM Success

Mailed:  10/30/2013

c/o: Edmonton Oilers

I pulled this jersey card back in 2002 so I decided to try to get it signed.  Ference was a member of the Boston Bruins team that won the cup in 2011.  I famously flipped off the fans in the Bell Centre and then said his glove stuck.  Good one.  Anyway, he is known for his environmentalist ideals and drives a Prius or bikes to the rink every day.  His autograph is pretty terrible actually as it looks like just an "A" and an "F".

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins TTM Success

Mailed:  1/22/2014
Received:  5/23/2014
Days:  121
c/o: Edmonton Oilers

Ryan had 56 points this past season for the Oilers.  I have to think that the Oilers are on the verge of getting into the playoffs.  They have a ton of young talent, and I think they just need to bring in some veterans to offset that a bit.  Yakupov has to go and they should trade their high pick this year too.  Nuge is going to be in Kingston in July, so hopefully I can get him to sign there again.
