Seven Players Taken In The Waiver Draft
The Buffalo Sabres did all their shopping at the National Hockey League’s annual fire sell without going out of state. Buffalo, still reeling from missing the playoffs last year, picked up veterans Clark Gillies, a left winger, and Wilf Paiement. a right winger, for bargain-basement prices in the waiver draft Oct. 6. Gillies, who has 304 career goals to his credit, and Paiement. 334, were purchased from the New York Islanders and New York Rangers, respectively, for just $2,500 each.

Gillies. 32. accounted for just four goals with the Islanders. Gillies and Paiement were among seven players who…

No fewer than 230 penalty minutes were handed out by referee Ron Fournier at the Forum on Sept. 28. The “highlight” of the game occurred when Chris Nilan slashed Nordiques’ rookie goalie Mario Brunetta on the back of the leg in the second period.

Too bad, because up to then, the game was fast and rough, but without cheap shots. With Brunetta stretched out on the ice, Nilan skated to the Canadiens’ bench. He was followed…
