Jimmy Carson

Mailed out: October 29, 2014
Returned: November 10, 2014
Return #96

Drafted second overall by the Kings in 1986 Jimmy Carson would only put up 186 points over the next two seasons with the club before being dealt to Edmonton for Wayne Gretzky. Frustrated in Edmonton that he couldn't live up to the hype of being dubbed Gretzkys replacement Carson demanded a trade in 1989, he would be dealt to his hometown Detroit.

I had only sent the Detroit card, I wrote to Jimmy that I was a big Oilers/Red Wings fan he returned an extra Oilers card signed for me, also he used the toonie I included to cover the return postage from the US.
