| TRADE/EXPANSION:
New York traded Egers, Andre Dupont and Mike Murphy to St. Louis for Gene Carr, Jim Lorentz and Wayne Connelly on November 15, 1971. The
Rangers later reacquired Egers for Glen Sather and a "player to be
named" (Rene Villemure) on October 28, 1973. New York left Egers unprotected in the 1974
NHL Expansion draft and he was claimed by Washington on June 12, 1974. |
