 Oaks
Traded • Doug Moe in a 3-team trade with Cougars, Pipers for • Frank Card • 1970 "No. 2" pick (from Cougars) (probably 1970 #24-Gary Freeman) on 1969-06-12
Third round #3 Gary Freeman "Washington from Carolina" per AP.
As part of the above trade "the Oaks also will receive the Carolina Cougars No. 2 draft choice for next season" per AP article dated 1969-06-13. This appears to have been incorrect as it was likely this third round pick?
"In exchange... the Oaks received the Cougars No. 2 choice in the 1970 draft..." per UPI |
