Iginla is playing for the flames, 'nuff said. Who knows what would have 
happened if Iginla stayed with the Stars; I would assume he would have gotten 
better with the Star's deep lineup, and would have more hobby recognition 
since he would have played for an American team. On the other hand, Dallas 
isn't exactly a great place to collect hockey cards (other than the fact that 
Score/Pinnacle and Beckett have their HQs in Texas)

Being an RC collector, one would assume that I would have kept a few 
Thorntons in my collection. However, I stick to my old rule of "look at the 
guy for 10 games, and see if he does well". Since Thornton was (and is) 
crappy in terms of stats, I chose not to buy any of his RCs until he starts 
to perk up. I too didn't seem to like Thornton (as did with Philips, Daigle, 
and to a lesser extent Owen Nolan and Mats Sundin) An example of a cheap RC 
with lots of potential is Dmitri Nabokov, who is doing quite well for 
Chicago. He's listed in the 94-95 Select. I would also see folks like 
Friesen, Langenbrunner, Hnat Domenichelli, and Andrei Petrunin as good and 
cheap RCs to collect. They have issues in the 93-94 Pinnacle/Upper Deck, 
93-94 Pinnacle/Upper Deck, 95-96 Upper Deck, and 94-95 SP respectively. Oh 
well.. so you're not trading your Ohlunds or Berards? :> Gee.. I guess I'll 
have to see if I pull some expensive 1000-dollar Kariya insert or something 
to bring about a trade.. hah! Later, then.
