The deal called for N.Y. Rangers to get Hartford's 1986 second-round pick if
Weeks won a combined 25 ergular-season and playoff games in 1984-85 and
1985-86, and a 1986 third-round pick if Weeks did not reach 25 wins. Weeks won
a total of 23 games, and the deal was completed when N.Y. Rangers received
1986 third-round pick (Shaun Clouston). |
