Flames fan here who lives in Calgary...
I recently bought a framed photograph of Conor McDavid and I would love to get it autographed.
This is a Christmas present for my Grandson who's a huge McDavid fan. I got it at Costco for $50 which is a reasonable amount to pay for a 10 year old boy but the autographed ones were 3x the amount that I paid for the unautographed photo.
Just a little background... my Grandson loves to play hockey but unfortunately he'll be unable to play this Fall as he will be undergoing a couple of surgeries in October and November. In October he'll be getting a fairly routine tonsillectomy and in November he'll be undergoing a major surgery where he'll be getting a new ear. You see, my Grandson is deaf on his left side as he was born without an ear there. They will be removing cartilage and skin from his body and molding it in the shape of an ear and surgically implanting that new ear on the left side of his head.
He won't be able to hear out of the new ear but at least he will look more like all his friends and hockey buddies.
So anyways I'm trying to do my best to give him the best Christmas present ever. I wrote the Oilers to see if I could get the photo signed by McDavid when he's here on November 17 for the Flames Oilers game, and explained why I wanted to do this, but they replied back saying they were unable to accommodate my request.
Any suggestions on how I can proceed or is this now a dead end street?
Here's a pic of the framed photo... its really quite nice and I'm sure my Grandson will be thrilled to get it.... autographed or not.
