I have that clip of the WHA goalie stepping aside and waving at the puck. If I come across it, I'll see if I can identify the goalie.
I didn't think that Orr or anyone made 600k in the mid 70's.
I took a look at the salary figures for 1978 and Phil Esposito had the
highest contract for that year at $325,000. Then Marcel Dionne was paid
$320,000 for that season.
Don't forget that Sanderson negotiated a long term scouting contract for his dad, Harold.
By the way, the next proposal for a DVD set would be on the WHA, including games, hi-lites and even maybe a DVD of WHA fights. Do you think that would sell?

chooch said:Do you recall what Sanderson made or Parent? I had thought Sanderson got $1 million and scored 3 goals in the WHA? Bobby Orr was the highest NHLer in the mid 70's at $600k.
At what point were the stats inflated post Hull? 1980s?
DO you recall an oftplayed clip of Hull scoring on a hapless WHA goalie by slapping the puck from the high slot and the goalie literally steps out of the way and meekly waves at it as it goes in the net. Always wanted to know who was the goalie.
