I like doing small projects, and I'm a big fan of Richards, Carter, and Giroux...unfortunately, so are a lot of people, most of whom have a lot more $$ than me.
I've always admired guys like Ray Bourque, guys who are pretty gifted offensively, but are great defensively and can throw their weight around. Can't do Phaneuf, once again, the $$ is an issue. I'd like to do a Kimmo Timonen collection, but unfortunately he doesn't have a lot of true RCs (only 1, in fact) and I'd like to start with a younger player.
So, I was thinking that Eric Johnson might be the next guy that comes in and can play both ends well and can use his weight to. Anyone else in the same league as him with somewhat-affordable cards around the same age, preferably out of the Atlantic Division?
 
Erik Johnson would be a task. He gets featured on A LOT of #1 pick type cards with Crosby/Kane/et all. What about a guy like Marc Staal or Ryan Parent?
 
Yeah, I have a small Parent Collection. Can't do a Ranger, so Stall's out. But I've considered Parent, he even wears 77. But I'd rather wait till he plays one full season, as he's has periods where he looks lost.
 
If I were a Flyers fan..... Excuse me, I just dry heaved.:p OK, what was I saying? Oh yeah, Flyers fan.... I would collect Bobby Clarke Autos. He has a great sig and is very affordable. Perhaps the best Flyer of all time. Mike
 
Or if you wanted you could start a Nigel Dawes collection or any Ranger for that matter, I'm sure Mikey can give you a completed player collection for next to nothing. ;)

Or

Do the Bobby Clarke thing like Mikey says. Can't go wrong with Bobby
