| HOW HE GOT AWAY |
| WHA/EXPANSION: Carter did not sign with
Montreal after the draft, instead jumping to the WHA with Edmonton. He did not enter the NHL until the
1979 NHL-WHA merger. At the time of the merger, Montreal and Edmonton agreed
Montreal would not take Carter nor Dave Hunter back in the June 9, 1979, NHL Reclaim Draft
in exchange for a promise that Edmonton would not take Bill Nyrop, Gilles
Lupien or Rod Langway off Montreal's roster in the NHL Expansion Draft on June
13, 1979. Edmonton completed the deal by drafting Cam Connor. |
