Penguins Get The Men They Want
PITTSBURGH—Even though the Penguins traded away their opportunity to select first overall in last month’s NHL entry draft, general manager-coach Eddie Johnston is very happy with his club’s selections “We’re extremely happy because we were able to take the two players that we’ve been talking about for the last two or three weeks,” said Johnston after supervising his first draft since being named GM. Those two players are left winger Bob Errey, who was selected 15th overall from Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League, and Oshawa defenseman Todd Charlesworth, who was the first pick in the second round and the 22nd player chosen overall. Pittsburgh would have had the first pick in the draft by virtue of its 21 st-place finish in the overall NHL standings last season. However, former GM Baz…

Intriguing Sidelights Shine On North Stars
H&B Louisville&Hockey H&B Louisville&Hockey BLOOMINGTON—Everything fell into place for the Minnesota North Stars, just in time to send them into a nice quiet summer. There was a new coach, Bill Mahoney, one small trade and a crop of 13 draftees, led by the expected No. 1 choice overall of Brian Lawton. But there are a lot of intriguing sidelights to the recent flurry of news out of the Met Center. First of all, Mahoney surfaced as a late-rising darkhorse candidate. Speculation around the league was that general manager Lou Nanne made a late, strong bid for Pat Quinn, currently in law school and still receiving his paycheck from the Philadelphia Flyers. Rumors are that Quinn turned it down, while other reports are that there was no such offer made. Mahoney used to be Gary Green’s assistant…
Trading Cloutier Fulfills Filion’s Promise
QUEBEC—While the Buffalo Sabres grabbed most of the publicity at the entry draft in Montreal, the Nordiques also got into the headlines with a last-minute trade, the only major deal at the annual event. The Nordiques traded disgruntled forward Real Cloutier and their first-round draft pick, 11th overall, to Buffalo for three players and a third-round draft pick. The deal was consummated only hours before the start of the draft and fulfilled general manager Maurice Filion’s two-month-old promise to make changes before the start of the new season. Coming to Quebec are left winger Tony McKegney and centers Andre Savard and Jean-Francois Sauve. McKegney was the second-highest scorer with the Sabres last year with 36 goals and 37 assists. The knock against him in some circles is that he is not aggressive…
