Manny Legace has seen himself on the short side of the stick many times over in his professional career, and unfortunately hasn't been able to always bounce back from it. Playing for Detroit for many years, winning a Stanley Cup as a back up in 2002, he floundered his first year as a starter for Detroit against Edmonton, in the first round of the playoffs. Driven from Detroit, he was sent to division rival St Louis and was never quite the same, even as the starter. Now with the rise of Mason, Legace found himself again without a team. November 9th, a few days ago he just signed a 1 year, 500K deal with the Carolina Hurricanes to either back up Cam Ward when he's healthy again, or just be his temporary fill in, to be sent back down to the AHL when he's healthy again. Only time will tell.

Justin Williams
I had this out for about a year and a half, and it finally came back to me. Very happy about it. Justin Williams was a very big reason why the Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup in 2006. Maybe not so much just him, but none the less, certainly helped out. With him in Los Angeles now, I feel this guy can be a bigger help to the rising stars they have on that team, and his career is still far from over. He's got plenty of years left. He may not be a "superstar" quality player, but he's definately a roleplayer that brings a lot to the team he plays on.

Eric Staal

My girlfriend has so kindly let me know that Mr. Eric Staal sent me back my autograph request from the beginning of the summer. I sent it to his family farm, and I just recieved my response, which is ok with me, because a long response is better than no response. He signed 3/3 for my Fleer set, and as soon as these cards come in to my possesion (hopefully either Friday or Saturday) I will post up the pictures of them.
