I'm not really a fan of any exclusive really as mentioned above me by others I believe. I told my LCS "what a joke" when that happened, and I just said the same words again.

Well there is a real punch in the guts for Auto RC collectors.
The want list at this link features what I need of Gretzky, Roy, Ottawa Senators, and Miscellaneous sets. I also have a CFL want list on my page and if you have nothing from it I will consider other traders of current Ottawa Senators,Guy Lafleur, + trade bait.

I echo the confusion. I thought you could sign exclusive deals for retired players, but that members of the NHLPA (i.e. active players) could not sign exclusive deals. However, the wrinkle in this could be that Eichel signed the deal before becoming a member of the NHLPA, so maybe it will be allowed. It is unfortunate however, that this will mean no Auto Eichel rookies, unless perhaps Upper Deck resorts to cut autos for Eichel.

Leaf cant even use pictures of him in his team uniform. This is absolute garbage. I don't collect leaf for rookies I collect them for vintage/retired stars. I would imagine most people do. This destroys UD by taking out a #2 rookie a (star) for that matter. It more importantly destroys Collectors who can no longer get the rookies they want from the products they want (FWA, Ultimate, Cup). Its different if its a retired player or something but this cant happen with a rookie.
This really irritates me and I hope he can still possibly sign for UD (something within the PA). I would have been super pissed if it was a Penguin so I feel you Buffalo fans.
I Want LEAF to know that they just screwed a LOT of collectors. I will be avoiding all Eichel Autos. This is terrible for the hobby Thanks LeafFlickr: Hidden Content
Looking for Penguins, HOF Autos, Vintage Memorabilia. Aswell as any Guentzel and Murray Rookie Autos, Top Player Autos and Always looking for Decent Young Guns

On one hand I'm happy to see somebody stick it to UD for a change!
On the other hand this is absolutely brutal for the hobby, one of the highest hyped Rookie Classes of the last decade just got ruined by an unlicensed company. One of the biggest rookies in years now won't be featured in staple sets like SPA and The Cup because a 3rd rate company wanted to make a splash in the hobby world.
Very disappointed in Leaf for this, I'll be boycotting them right alongside with the old ITG now.

Guys, I understand that some are frustrated, but I assure you this isn't the end of the world. We gladly would not have done exclusives if our competitors would heed that as well.
We have the right to compete in a market that we continue to grow and feel we make compelling products. To say you wont purchase or support our
products because of this seems harsh considering we have no access to Gretzky, Orr, McDavid, Team Canada. If we were afforded a chance at an NHL or NHLPA license we would jump
at the chance. If we were afforded.
