Eichel signs card deal with Leaf, attends Upper Deck Rookie Showcase

Fans will be able to land the Sabres' top prospect's autograph in Leaf card packs this season.

Jack Eichel is a popular man right now. Weeks after signing an equipment deal with Bauer, the young star has signed a multi-year exclusive trading card deal with Leaf. The company's CEO Brian Gray said it was one of the most lucrative autograph trading deals for a rookie in any sport.

"Unlike some other 2015 draftees, Jack has no autographs on the market," Gray said in a release. "Leaf has the unique opportunity to insure collectability and tremendous value for one of the greatest, if not the single greatest, American hockey prospect of all time.
