2011-2012 The Cup Question

[dxco00]

Anyone have any idea if the upcoming The Cup product will have 3 ARP /99 or 6? Also any idea of which players there might be for the short prints?

[jlai624]

RNH LANDESKOG AND HENRIQUE seem to be the obvious choices.

[MrBlackisBack]

I would think that in addition to those three, Johanson, Couturier and Hodgson.

[RGM81]

Simply put, we don't know at this point. UD has yet to release any information about The Cup.

[dxco00]

I realize UD hasn't released any information about it...I just wanted people's thoughts on it

If its 3 I think it will be RNH, Hodgson, and Landeskog

[Yipper]

Simply put ... at this point, we don't even know if the Cup is going to be made.

But these three are at least going to be /99 - RNH, Landeskog, Hodgson

Candidates if there are going to be 6.

Henrique, Couturier, Leblanc (habs factor).


It would seem "obvious" to put Henrique because of his play, but I can see many hobby wise reasons not to. New Jersey stuff doesn't hold up and there isn't really a huge following of Henrique. Sure he is good and people are now starting to take notice, but I am sure UD factors in a lot of other things before deciding.

Heck, the /99 are probably decided just not released. If so, Henrique probably won't be /99.

[Tivo32]

Maybe I'm wrong, but UD would be making a mistake not having Henrique be one of the /99 RC's. I think he has a very bright future ahead of him and will eventually garner hobby love.

[Crater_Satori]

If the /99's were picked months ago I do not see Henrique being one.

RNH, Landy & Hodgson are my bets if there are only 3

[Kessel_fan_87]

No love for Jake gardiner?

[Kessel_fan_87]

Imo he was one of the best rookie defensemen all year. Larsson was pretty good too!
