Rangers Round-Up

 Just a bunch of Kitchener Rangers alum acquired cheaply at COMC thanks to e-packs.

I'm leading with this Mandelbrot Fractal parallel, for the sole reason that this was the only one in this post that didn't have a logical type pairing. The white border used on this Credentials release makes this one of the tamer versions of these parallels.

Young Guns Renewed might have given us some of UD's most garish inserts in recent memory, but at least it sorta also gives one a chance at acquiring Young Guns card of stars for a fraction of the cost of the real ones. 
This was a screw-up on my part regarding the first of these Skinners. I had already acquired that one, and forgot about it. By the time I realized that, I'd already dropped a package on the way to Night Owl. At least I've got an interesting Sabres history-ish insert to start off the next mailer.
Much like with Nikolaj Ehlers over in my 2/14 collection, John Gibson is someone who all my NHL level cards of his are with a single team, and there still haven't been any printed yet with him on his new club.
Here's a pair of silver parallels out of the online-only Ultra release. 
And finally, a couple flagship parallels that are also exclusively online. Smith is the regular silver parallel,  while Faksa is the speckled version. The background makes it harder to tell the difference between the two in the scan, but it does have that quality in hand.

There you have it!
