Imlach bets on Horton in Canadiens era draft gamble
Punch Imlach, Buffalo Sabres GM, paid 40000 to acquire veteran defenceman Tim Horton from Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL intra league draft. Horton, 42, slated for retirement, joins a Sabres club seeking renewed stability as Canucks and Kings also move players. Montreal, Toronto, and Los Angeles made a flurry of moves as expansion draft rules and protections shaped the two new teams. Minor rule changes also implement penalties for illegal sticks and stricter curvature limits.
