Why is Michael Grabner listed as a member of the Maple Leafs? He's been with the Islanders for a while now...

Didn't he go from the Isles to the Leafs (and now Rangers)?

That's my point. UD has always done this. You see it mainly with jersey and patch cards though.

Take Phil Kessel: For up to two years after he got traded to Toronto, UD had cards picturing Phil Kessel as a Maple Leafs player but the jersey or patch would be from Boston.

And they keep doing this sort of thing. It is frustrating

Unacceptable!

While I get a mismatches with the picture and jersey swatch may be frustrating and odd (believe me, i've been there haha), from UD's perspective, they need to use the leftover jersey stock they have. Phil Kessel probably won't be featured as a Bruin again (unless it's one of those "Flashback" memorabilia sets), so they need to use his Bruins jersey wherever the can, even if it was during his time as a Maple Leaf, so they can move on and pickup recent Kessel jerseys for their inventory

It can be frustrating, but from a business perspective, it makes sense. Why pay money to hold a lot of extra stock when you can be making some money on it, and clear the way for other jerseys. Just my 2 cents on this little topic.
