Derek MacKenzie

Autograph received in person at the Blue Jackets Fanfest on September 9, 2011


Since I already got a card signed by Dmacback in July, I got this wonder 8x10 close up signed. Dmac looked good in camp and in the preseason so I hope he heals quickly from his knee injury. He signed my photo in silver sharpie.

Maksim Mayorov

What I like about the CBJ the most these days are the pleasant surprises that are our prospects (Calvert, Clitsome, Kubalik). Maksim Mayorov fits nicely under this category due to his performance in training camp. I really hope he makes the team. Mr. Mayorov signed my 8x10 in blue sharpie.

Kris Russell

Kris Russell has now played over 4 seasons in the NHL. He has had ups and downs career-wise, but he does shows flashes of brilliance and was named CHL Defenseman of the year in 2007. He signed my card in blue sharpie.

Jared Boll

I have always enjoyed Jared Boll on the Jackets. He's a good bruiser and a fan favorite. Mr. Boll signed my card in black sharpie.

Derick Brassard

Derick Brassard is one of the few CBJ 1st round picks that either hasn't been an utter failure (Zherdev, Picard, Brule) or hasn't been traded (Vorachek). Brass has been improving with every season and I can see him being an excellent 50-55 point 2nd line center for most of his career. I sent some cards to him last season but I never got them back so this was a nice autograph to get.

Mark Dekanich

I did not know much about Dekanich until this offseason when Columbus acquired him from Milwaukee. He's put up good numbers in the AHL so I hope he makes a good backup for Columbus. Dekanich signed my card in blue sharpie. 

Ray Whitney

Card Sent: 8/4/11

Received: 8/20/11 (2/2)

Geez I got these back WWAYY quicker than I thought I would! I've been a fan of Whitney's ever since he came to Columbus back in the inaugural  season. He's a great playmaker and played 151 games in Columbus and scored 140 points. Whitney might not put up huge numbers but he has been one of the most consistent players for over a decade. I hope he can hit 1000 career points before he retires (close at 926!). Mr. Whitney signed both of my cards in blue sharpie and his signature is pretty sweet. I love this return.
