The first of many, we hope

Jonathan Bernier, the Los Angeles Kings' top pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, became the first player to return signed cards in Hound Central 3.0's 2007-08 TTM (through the mail) project. Bernier, who started the NHL season with the Kings, is now playing for the Lewiston Maineiacs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League

The cards, sent out on Halloween, arrived in today's mail.

We're still waiting on responses from Chicago's Tuomo Ruutu, St. Louis' Brad Boyes, Dallas' Loui Eriksson and Danny Gare, a former Buffalo Sabres star and TV analyst for the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The next five-request round will go out later this month.

Quick piece of advice: DEFINITELY try Anze Kopitar. Two weeks, he signed 3 cards plus the two index cards I put in to protect the cards. They were all signed in silver, with a decent looking signature too (a pretty clear A Kopitar).

Will do. It doesn't surprise me, though, as he was fairly personable and quick with a pen when the Kings played in Tampa last season.
