‘In a nutshell, what it means for collectors is that Leaf can use Eichel’s name and license but has to wipe out any use of the Sabres’ logo or NHL trademarks. Upper Deck, meanwhile, can make any Eichel products it wants but will not have access to any autographed products as it does with rookies like No. 1 overall pick Connor McDavid. As such, Eichel did not sign the numerous products other rookies were signing here the last two days because his signature is exclusive to Leaf.’
