The design and production teams had probably gone through their process of designing checklist, player selection, photo selection, etc. by the time of the buyout. Too late to do anything at this point without a production delay...and my guess is that they weren't super keen on doing that on the behest of PA Parenteau. Who knows, maybe we'll see a transaction notice on the card like we did in the old days. Probably not, though.

Now, it does all beg the question as to why they would have bothered with Parenteau in the first place. By the end of the season he was in the coach's dog house and not really much of a fan favourite. Do they go with a potentially more popular player from another team? Add in a deadline acquisition like Torrey Mitchell or Jeff Petry for their first cards in Habs colours?

I am with you on the idea of Parenteau's inclusion in the first place, but once the decision is made that he's in, there's not really any other option but to put him with his most recent team.

They should have swapped Parenteau with another Islander because, why not

Actually after a quick glance I was thinking they did much better than last year in regard to recent moves.

Thanks for finding the checklist and posting! I am disappointed UD didn't incorporate dubnyk. Was hoping he would make it in at least a low end product. Not sure why they would cut the base set down so much from last year. These low end products were a great way to get a decent team set going. Next UD will increase the price on these packs :O
