This draft allowed teams to choose professional players in the NHL that were not drafted in 1972, or had been drafted but were not signed, or otherwise were available and unattached to a WHA club (in a sense, partly an intraleague draft). Its primary purpose was to allow Houston to draft Mark and Marty Howe as professionals, not as juniors, thus laying the groundwork for the subsequent signing of Gordie Howe. |
