| HOW HE GOT AWAY |
| TRADE: Shortly after the 1975 draft, Los
Angeles signed Marcel Dionne. The move upset Young, who felt Dionne's addition
would jeopardize his ability to earn a roster spot. Young requested that Los
Angeles trade him, and less than two months after the draft, the Kings obliged
Young by sending him to Minnesota in exchange for a 1976 second-round pick
(Steve Clippingdale) on August 15, 1975. |
