	HIGHLIGHTS	In 1972 Whalers take place in the first ever WHA game, a pre-season rookie squad game vs the Philadelphia Blazers in Roanoke, VA. In 1985 Chris Kotsopoulos is suspended by Emile Francis for refusing to play in a pre-season rookie game. Two days later he is told he is not welcome at the Whalers training camp and is traded on October 7, 1985. In 1996 Brendan Shanahan publicly requests to be traded and relinquishes his captaincy.
	TRANSACTIONS	In 1975 Don Blackburn is released.
