Hunter Predicts If Oilers Put Out Edmonton Will Again Lead Box Office
EDMONTON— From a highly shaky start, the Edmonton Oilers may yet prove their general manager, Bill Hunter, a prophet. Hunter predicts the Edmonton franchise in the World Hockey Association will again lead the league in attendance and estimates that after all the shooting is over, his club will attract an average of between 13,000 and 14,000 fans. “Provided we play attractive hockey and win,” was the rider he placed on his pronouncement.

However, Harper failed to report and sued the NHL and the Kings, trying to get the deal nullified. A Federal Court then refused to grant Harper’s request for an injunction to permit him to play in Los Angeles…
North Stars’ GM Wants Judgment On Trades Witheld
TWIN CITIES— From December on of the 197475 NHL season, Minnesota North Stars’ general manager Jack Gordon stood up to a battery of critical potshots. First, he was criticized for not making any personnel moves to improve the slumping North Stars. Then he took the flak when he did make some sweeping changes. The major reason was that the North Stars never did approach any consistency, before or after a series of January trades that saw longtime North Stars Jude Drouin and J.P. Parise head for New York and help the Islanders complete their most successful season in history. Fred Stanfield went to Buffalo and aided the Sabres in their drive to the Stanley Cup final. Barry Gibbs landed in Atlanta. In return, the North Stars received Norm Gratton from Buffalo; Ernie Hicke, Doug Rombough…
