| HOW HE GOT AWAY |
| WHA/TRADE: Lariviere did not sign with
Buffalo after the draft, instead jumping to the WHA. While he was in the WHA,
his NHL rights were traded by Buffalo to N.Y. Islanders for the rights to
Gerry Desjardins on Feb. 19, 1975. He did not enter the NHL until the 1979 NHL-WHA
merger. N.Y. Islanders egained his rights in the NHL Reclaim Draft on June 9,
1979, but Quebec
immediately took him back as part of its privilege to protect three players from its WHA
franchise. |
