Even though the 2017 NHL Draft is still a few months away, excitement is starting to build among collectors for the players that are eligible to be selected.
Leaf Trading Cards is looking to keep building that hype with the release of 2016-17 Leaf Metal - which focuses on the game’s future along with its illustrious past.
Limited to just 200 cases, there is bound to be plenty of buzz around prime prospects like Nolan Patrick of the Brandon Wheat Kings, who happens to be under a long-term autograph exclusive with Leaf. There are seven cards per box and all are printed using the company’s patented metal technology.
