Miscellaneous: Was eligible for the draft at age 25 because of NHL rule
that all Europeans, regardless of age, had to enter the league through the
entry draft rather than as unrestricted free agents. Although Javanainen had
been drafted just one year earlier, he had never signed with Montreal,
and because of his advanced age (i.e. he was more than five years beyond his
18th birthday), he was eligible to re-enter the draft after the 1983-84
season. |
