Nice! And it’s the card with Claude Vilgrain. A very good player who had to fight through racism during his career. Great guy, class act, and could play. hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leag… He out scored me in 91-92. I’ll sign that card if you want to send it to me.

Two great Power Forwards. Well deserved. Go Iggy👏🏿
The two biggest names that become eligible to enter the #HHOF this season are Jarome Iginla and Marian Hossa...both should be first year inductees, in my opinion.
