Hi all, anyone else noticed that Nicklas Backstrom has not had a hard signed auto in a product in years? Does anybody know if he does not sign anymore?

12-13 Fleer Retro, but it's a sticker, so could have been sitting for awhile.

Are current players who are part of the NHLPA allowed to do that? Can they just say I don't want to sign cards?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.... but based on my understanding:
Absolutely. Their image can be used on cards.... that's part of the group licensing.... the old BAP sets were PA sponsored, so players were strongly encouraged to sign those cards. Other than that... they can sign or not sign at their own discretion. Nobody can make them do it, the card companies have to pay them to do it. I think the rookies may be pressured into obliging for the crazy volume of signatures that first year players sign.
