Some kid named Wayne Gretzky went first overall to the Washington Capitals. The Stingers picked up Denis Savard 5th overall which is a great pick for us. We are lacking strong high-end center depth and Savard projects to be a first-line center and is likely NHL-ready for the upcoming season. Once again we were ranked as having the best draft of 1980, we picked up:
  1. Denis Savard
  2. Bernie Nicholls
  3. Moe Mantha
  4. Len Hachborn
  5. Mark Osborne

The Jets traded away long-time player Anders Hedberg for high-end prospect Kjell Samuelsson. The Jets seem to be preparing for a retool and have been shipping off some of their higher-end players for young guns. Hedberg had 336 points in 209 games with the Jets in both the WHA and NHL over the span of 6 seasons.
