NHL Opens Draft Meetings With WHA Shadow Looming
The NHL began its summer draft meetings under the threat of the upstart World Hockey Association. Teams worry about unprotected players crossing to the WHA, potential return rights, and no compensation if a drafted player stays away. Bobby Hull’s name surfaces as a possible WHA target, with chatter of a $2 million sign and four-year deal. The cost for franchises to join the NHL is cited at about $6 million per team, with New York facing an extra $4 million indemnification to the Rangers for territorial issues.
