| HOW HE GOT AWAY |
| FREE AGENCY: Jarvenpaa never signed with
Montreal, because he felt he was too young and not ready to play in the NHL.
His NHL rights lapsed after four years rather than the normal five years,
because he had been 19 at the time he was drafted. He became eligible for
the draft again in 1986 and was selected by
Winnipeg. |
