Chris Oddleifson

Oddleifson was selected 10th overall in the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft by the California Golden Seals following a dominant final junior season with the Winnipeg Jets of the WCHL, during which he finished with 95 points (including a league-leading 64 assists) and 243 penalty minutes.Oddleifson was assigned to the minors and never played an NHL game for the Seals, and was dealt to the Boston Bruins midway through the 1971–72 season.Oddleifson had his breakout year in 1974–75, as he emerged as a leader on a young Canuck team which surprisingly won their division and made the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.He led the Canucks in scoring through the early part of the season, until a fractured jaw forced him to miss 20 games.Although his production waned somewhat in the next few seasons, he remained one of the team's top all-around forwards and most popular players.
