Pavel Datsyuk. Found him at the Troy Sports Center in Michigan after an open pre-season practice that apparently no one knew about except some guy at letsgowings.com. Skipped high school for it back in 2007!

Yeah...I collect autographs. And I've met almost every Canuck listed.
When I was a kid I met Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Dallas Smith, and Dave Forbes at a Mall I got all of their autographs, or rather my mom got them for me, I was too intimidated by Bobby Orr, but he was awesome and super nice, they all were.
I have gotten many more when I was a kid, mostly players who played for the old Boston Braves and then the New Haven Nighthawks, both of whom my dad would take me to see about 25 games a year.
Since I became an adult I haven't gotten any autographs from anyone, I have talked to a few players, but I didn't ask for anything from them.

Nice to see someone my age. My prized one is Bobby Hull, he was a class act. I have Pierre Larouche, Dave Burrows, Les Binkley and Jim Rutherford. But, that was back when I was a kid. I do have a Crosby signed puck and a Mario stick thanks to a relative that worked behind the Pens bench for 17 years
I'm not a big fan of autographs. Would rather just have the memory of meeting the guy than make him go to the trouble of signing his name for me.
However with that said, I ran into one of the Sedins about 10 years ago on the ferry, and, in my youth, I excitedly had him sign my ticket stub from the previous night's game. To this day I'm still not positive which Sedin it was, but the scribble he provided me with looked a bit more like Henrik than Daniel. Don't know whatever happened to that ticket. Not at all concerned about it.
I have Stepan's, McDonagh's, Koivu's, Parise's, Callahan's, Dubinsky's, and Gaborik's signatures on jerseys and other stuff like my hockey sticks and some pucks. It's pretty nice being able to see McDonagh around the Twin Cities during the summer when I visit, I've run into him several times. Still doesn't remember me, dammit.
I've got a ton of autographs since I like collecting them as a hobby. I've gotten them before and after Ranger games, Devil games, NHL Store events, etc. Not gonna go through all of em but they include Crosby, Stamkos, Giroux, Lundqvist, Zetterberg, Nash, Miller, Toews, Kane, Parise, Kovalchuk, etc.
I got my Parise jersey signed a couple years back and I think the backstory is pretty cool. My girlfriend's cousin worked at the Devils team dermatologist. So i gave her a bunch of stuff to keep at her desk just in case any players came in. Larry Robinson came in and he offered to take the jersey with him to get it signed at practice. He came back the next day with the jersey signed.
Now that i think about it every player I got an autograph from through her (Parise, Rolston, Palmieri) are no longer on the team.
I dont have many hockey ones, but i have a ton of outside of hockey. In hockey i have a Bobby Orr picture (not of 1970 stanley cup) Stick, and puck all signed. My uncle was his accountant for a little bit and I have Sergie Samsonov. Outside of hockey i have a ton especially baseball.

Are the in person ones. Forsberg and Pominville were the only ones I was really excited to meet. Volek was my next door neighbor as a kid and all the Isles on my list from his days were at his house over the years. Newer Islanders (Czerkawski, Martinek, Jonsson) were at the Coliseum when I got to skate during intermission. Hull and Dione were at HHOF. Greschner at the Garden for a playoff game.
Not me personally, but a good family friend won a Goalie stick at Game 5 or 7 of the 04 SCF that was signed by the entire TBL cup team. I'm very envious of that awesome paddle every time I visit.
