PAGE 10 TERRACE BAY NEWS JANUARY 4, 1973 Sports Slants = cont'd from page 9 last winter when they refused to take the World Hockey Association seriously and failed to negotiate half-decent contracts with some of their players. As a result, goalie Bernie Parent, defencemen Rick Ley and Brad Selwood and centre Jim Harrison took the dive to the WHA. Other knowledgeable hockey men like Wren Blair of Minnesota and Emile Francis of New York signed their established players to long-term contracts and prevented raidings by the WHA. So now the Leafs are left without any farm talent and almost no one else to make trades for. Paul Henderson and Davey Keon -- and maybe Ron Ellis -- are the only Leafs anybody would want right now. And for Leafs to get rid of them would mean total destruc- tion, Bet ol' Punch Imlach is laughing at them now.
