The "curse of Red Lutton" finally ended one spring day, when the chant "1940" stopped. After 54 years, the New York Rangers finally bought a team that could do it. No Orr or Esposito stood in destiny's way this time. The envelope has been signed by Mike Keenan and 14 members of the team. Messier, Leetch, Richter, Graves, Beaukeboom, Kovalev, Healy, Kocur, Nemchinov and mercenaries Lowe, Mactavish, Tikkanen, Matteau and Noonan. Signatures, in blue ball point pen, rate between 7 and 9. The envelope measures 4" X 9" and has been framed to an overall size of 15" X 9". The frame is blue, the matting red, the Ranger colors. The condition of the piece is near mint.
