What's Buzz-worthy: This one is a huge release as Topps returns to the ice albeit in sticker form with a 630-sticker collection that has a 77-page album that itself comes with 10 stickers. You get a foil sticker in every pack -- and those are simple but impressive with sturdy stock that makes me think you could grade these and do well (yes, I'm that crazy) if you're not peeling and sticking. Inside the album, every team gets a spread with its logo, a highlight and three stars who get the foil treatment. After that, there's a spread for rookie debuts, All-Stars, vintage logos, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the champion St. Louis Blues on some puzzle stickers and award-winners. The book also ends with a page of spots for you to build your own All-Star squad where you can showcase nine duplicates. There were dupes here -- not heavily but definitely in there -- and you'll need more than one box to build a huge set -- but this feels like a pretty solid but simple release for NHL fans. A sampling of everything can be seen in the gallery below.
