the Leafs had acquired him earlier that year for Courtnall- a trade that made out toughest rival (hockey wise not physically) that year alot better. glad we didn't give Toronto an out there
interestingly the 2 names mentioned re: Kordic were Berezan (by trade) and Churla (implication they wanted to upgrade him) the 2 guys dealt for MacLellan- who wasn't the enforcer, but did give the team added useful size
