NHL Will Compensate Juniors For Drafts
Special To The Hockey News MONTREAL— It appears all the wrangling between the pros and the major junior teams is about to come to an end. At least that’s the impression hockey people have created after a series of meetings between the National Hockey League and the Canadian Major Junior Hockey League.
