| HOW HE GOT AWAY |
| WHA/EXPANSION: Campbell did not sign with
St. Louis after the draft, instead jumping to the WHA. He did not enter the NHL until the
1979 NHL-WHA merger. St. Louis briefly regained his rights in the NHL Reclaim Draft on June 9,
1979, but Winnipeg
immediately took him back as part of its privilege to protect three players from its WHA franchise.
Two years later, St. Louis got him back when it received Campbell and John
Markell from Winnipeg in exchange for Bryan Maxwell, Ed Staniowski and Paul
MacLean on July 3, 1981. |
