I feel that the Guy Lafleur Trade was Great for Hockey and the Montreal Canadiens. It was not so great for the California Golden Seals.
There where whispers throughout Hockey that the Golden Seals had problems with the Next Bobby Orr, and their hand was forced. Guy Lafleur would not have lived as long or been as great had he been a Golden Seal.
The reality is that the Canadiens became the Best Team of the 1970's in North America, and that was a Lofty Mountaintop. The On Ice Finale of the California Golden Seals was 3 Months to the Day before the Bicentennial and the Finale of the Seals move to Cleveland to become the Barons was Bastille Day 1976.
The Golden Seals where not on Front Channel Television and they had more Owners than Playoff Victories.
