To tie it back to Sylvain's Montreal Canadiens, if the WHL had not started up and used the under-age draft to draft some players that by NHL rules were not yet elible to be drafted by NHL teams, Gretsky would have played for Montreal. Sam Pollock (Montreal's General Manager in those days) spent a few years trading to get the first round draft pick for the four bottom ranked teams to be sure to have the absolute first pick the year Gretsky became eligble. (Gretsky was being watched by NHL scouts before he was a teenager - that's how good he was.) Just imagine Gretsky paying with the ilkes of Guy LaFleur, Boom boom Geoffrion, Larry Robinson, Ken Dryden, Yvan Cournyier, ... - he would likely have won more than just 5 Stanley Cups. He was a wonderful player to watch.
