Tomorrow (Tuesday November 8) is the expected release date for the 2011-12 Upper Deck Series 1 cards. However, unless you've pre-ordered online, I wouldn't expect to be able to find these cards in the Triangle tomorrow. I'll post an update once they hit the shelves at Target. In the meantime, here is what you can expect to see from the Hurricanes.
Base Set:
#167 Jeff Skinner
#168 Jamie McBain
#169 Eric Staal
#170 Cam Ward
#171 Tuomo Ruutu
#172 Joni Pitkanen
McBain is probably a questionable choice in hindsight since he's sat for almost half of the team's games. I'd expect to see Jussi Jokinen, Jiri Tlusty, Tim Gleason, Tomas Kaberle, Brandon Sutter, and 2 of Bryan Allen, Jay Harrison, Alexei Ponikarovsky, or Zac Dalpe in Series 2. Sorry, Anthony Stewart, Tim Brent, Patrick Dwyer, Derek Joslin, and Brian Boucher, but I don't expect to see your cards included this year.
UD Canvas:
#C20 Eric Staal
#C21 Cam Ward
#C22 Jussi Jokinen
Interesting to see Jokinen included in an insert, but not in the base set. Also interesting that Skinner isn't included with these inserts.
Clear Cut Honoured Members:
#HOF-19 Ron Francis (Whalers)
Clear Cut Foundations:
#CCF5 Eric Staal/Jeff Skinner
Clear Cut Leaders:
#CCL-CRB Cal Clutterbuck/Dustin Brown/Tuomo Ruutu (Hits)
#CCL-GCS Michael Grabner/Logan Couture/Jeff Skinner (Rookie Goals)
#CCl-SCG Michael Grabner/Logan Couture/Jeff Skinner (Rookie Points)
Interesting combination for the first card. Nice to see Skinner included in several insert cards.
Signature Sensations
#SS-BN Brandon Sutter
Again, interesting to see Sutter included on an insert, but not in the base set.
UD Game Patch
#GJ-ES Eric Staal
Netminders
