If there are any players franchises you want me to post just let me know. For myself, I always want to see how my idol Borje Salming did.

He had a decent career in this sim but he did not develop into that number one d-man he was with the Leafs. Brian Burke would have loved him in this replay because he was certainly a lot more truculent here than in real life - amassing over 2300 career PIM's.

Taken 8th overall by St Louis in the 1972 draft he would play 9 and a half seasons with the Blues before ending his career in Washington.

The 72 draft was pretty deep as Salming heard his named called after the likes of Larry Robinson (#1), Guy Lafleur, Marcel Dionne, Craig Ramsay, Rick Kehoe and Rick Martin. The only real surprise ahead of Salming was Bill Hajt who went #2 to Vancouver.

One thing Salming did accomplish in this sim was win a Stanley Cup as the Blues won their first and only cup in 1975-76. Salming had just 33 points that season on a team led by Gil Perreault (31-70-101), Marc Tardif (45-52-97) and Don Luce (32-47-79).

The Blues dealt Salming to Washington midway through the 1982-83 season in exchange for Don Maloney.
