I'm amazed, that in 22 cards, the number of teams with multiples:
Columbus - 2
Dallas - 2
Carolina - 2
Toronto - 2
Phoenix -2
St. Louis - 3

6 teams have over half of the rookies in this part of the set... wow.

Well most of them are High draft picks from the last couple of years... only Dallas would be suprising to be on that list...and thats because they "won" the Fabian sweepstakes..

heck if you look at it another way... 60 released with set, 22 redemptions so 82 rookies in all and the CBJ have 9 of them... yikes....over 10% of all the rookies in that set are CBJ.....included in that is their last 3 1st round picks Brassard, Voracek and Filatov....
 
March.....

Still, thanks for the info.

Yeah, it's March because if you think about it they had to first decide on which players each card was going to be, THEN they have to send them off to the players to get the autos. If anything gets screwed up with even one of these guys, some cards may not even make it out by March.
 
I wonder if they would wait for all of them to come back and then send them all out at once or just send them out to collectors as they come back from each player. I guess it would make more sense to do it the latter way.

I've got 2 Voraceks and Berglund. Can't wait
 
that means I got Drew Doughty – Los Angeles, and Blake Wheeler – Boston...
but WOW, NOT BEFORE MARCH!!!
