1974 NHL AMATEUR DRAFT

(Redirected from 1974 NHL Entry Draft)
__NOTOC__
The '1974 NHL Amateur Draft' was held via conference call at the NHL office in Montreal, Quebec. In an effort to prevent the WHA from poaching players, the draft was conducted early and in secret. This failed to prevent tampering as information leaked out via agents and other sources over the three days of the draft. As a statement of frustration at the slow, secret conference call format, Buffalo General Manager Punch Imlach claimed "Taro Tsujimoto" of the "Tokyo Katanas" of Japan using the 183rd overall pick. NHL officials immediately validated the selection, but weeks later Imlach admitted that Tsujimoto was a fabrication. The selection was ruled invalid by the NHL and removed from their records.[1]
This also marked the first year the NHL allowed underage players to be signed, a move made in response to the WHA's similar practice the previous year.
