Although there still won't be NHL cards for Connor McDavid for a few months, Upper Deck has provided collectors a chance to earn a redemption for one with a special 2015-16 O-Pee-Chee promotional offer.
Nine different puzzle cards will be randomly distributed in packs of 2015-16 OPC Hockey. Collectors who build the full set can send the cards to Upper Deck to receive an exclusive Edmonton Oilers #1 Draft Pick card that is numbered to 97. While they cannot officially say it is McDavid since he has not made his debut, the intention is clear. Because there are only 97 copies, the offer is first-come, first-serve and there is no guaranteed card simply by building the set.
The release date for 2015-16 O-Pee-Chee is early September and the live redemption card is expected in December. If you cannot wait until then, check out the top prospect cards for Connor McDavid here.
Specific details on the promotion can be see here.
UPDATE: On 10/8/2015, Upper Deck announced via their Twitter account that the promotion was completed.
