NHL Rejects Merger. vows clash with WHA over juniors
The NHL board of governors decided not to merge with the WHA and will challenge the new league to sign top junior players. The policy change would allow teams to negotiate with underage juniors if necessary, though the NHL historically signs players at age 20 after junior hockey. Dennis Sobchuk and other underage signings by the WHA prompted the stance, with Sobchuk joining Cincinnati for about $1 million while others jumped from Toronto and Ontario leagues.
