Meet the 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey Young Guns – If collectors were concerned about any sort of letdown from the burgeoning checklist of high profile talent on the roster of  2015-16 Upper Deck Series 1 Hockey, they needn’t worry. 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey has no shortage of future NHL Stars on the Young Guns checklist, which consists of 49 total players.

Clearly, the Buffalo Sabres’, Jack Eichel, who was the 2nd overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft is the most recognizable name on the checklist. As would be expected, the realized secondary market prices of the former Hobey Baker award winner are leading the pack in terms of sales.

First though, some nuggets of information to keep in mind as it pertains to the Young Guns roster as a whole.

 – Several players on the 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey Young Guns checklist are former first round NHL Draft picks.

 – The 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey Young Guns checklist includes several goalies. It is one of the toughest positions to break into in all of sports. Organizations usually have great patience in developing goaltenders. These young prospects often spend several years in the minors before being given the chance to become the everyday net minder.

 – As an example, two-time Stanley Cup champion, Corey Crawford of the Chicago Blackhawks was eligible for the Calder Trophy at the age of 26! Most of the goalies on the 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey Young Guns checklist are already playing for their NHL affiliate teams in the AHL. In the future, collectors will have to go back several years to acquire these future starters rookie cards, except for the savvy ones who stock up now.

– Team collectors will appreciate knowing just how many players from their team are on the 2015-16 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey Young Guns checklist. The Carolina Hurricanes, Philadelphia Flyers and Vancouver Canucks lead the way with four players each, followed by the Chicago Blackhawks, Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators each with three players.
