There is a scenario where Boston's blueline could have been Orr, Park, Bourque, but in 1981-82.
The reason Orr signed with Chicago in 1976 (5 yrs, 3m) was because the Eagle didn't tell him about Boston's offer to give him an 18% stake in the team. Does Orr, a very loyal guy, then decide in 1981 to sign back with Boston after hearing about Eagle's betrayal? Boston WOULD have gone ahead and traded for Park if they didn't have Orr, and would have drafted Bourque still as Park was aging. Does that give Boston enough to knock off the first place Canadiens and then Islanders on the way to a Cup win over Vancouver? Orr and Park would have been 34 yrs old, Bourque 22 (and a young McCrimmon).

Marcotte - McNab – O’Reilly
Cashman - Kasper – K. Crowder
Jonathan - Fergus – B. Crowder
Gillis
Bourque – Orr
McCrimmon – Park
Milbury - O’Connell
Moffatt/Vachon
Or does he go to Edmonton and team up with Gretz?
Kurri – Gretzky – Anderson
Messier – Hagman - Lumley
Hunter –Callighen - Hughes
Semenko –Unger -Roulston
Lowe - Orr
Coffey - Siltanen
