Pittsburgh sold him to Minnesota after the '7I seasons and Dean went on to score 20 and 26 in his two seasons as a North Star. Brilliant careers indeed, for both men !! And Steady Eddie Shack is still giving oppos- ing teams fits .... The NHL and the WHA made peace recently (if you want to call it that) by agreeing to play a series of exhibition games prior to the start of next season. But if you check the proposed schedule of games between the two leagues, six of the NHL teams won't be part of it. Toronto Maple Leafs, New Yé&rk Rangers and Detroit Red Wings are the only three establish ~ed clubs who have agreed to play against WHA teams; and in a sense you can't count the Leafs, since they are owned by Harold Ballard, who is a friend of John Bassett, who owns the WHA Toros.

The true veterans, the guys who have been around 20 years or more, will make $35,000 this year and $37,500 in I976. Those .chosen to officiate World Series games will make $8,500 this year, $9,000 next year and $9,500 1976; Come to think"of'it, that's not bad money ..
