Just something I read in the book "Gretzky to Lemieux." From a chapter it was discussing players who were cut from certain Canada Cups. In '84 Hawerchuk was not on the team and then that year ('84-85) he had 130 points and was a 2nd team all-star, 2nd in points behind Gretzky.
But he mentions that as a member of the Winnipeg Jets in 1984, and since Sather was picking the team he felt that Glen Sather may not hae picked him because he didnt think he wanted him to learn much which may have been harmful to the success of Winnipeg's divisional buddies Edmonton. What do you think of this statement that was made, I can only assume back in 1984. Hawerchuk had 102 points in '84 and I thought would have been a pretty good fit at centre on Team Canada in '84
