...existence of the French Connection reflects the recruiting skill of Sabres' General Manager "Punch" Imlach, the savvy former coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

To determine which expansion team would get first choice in the 1970 player draft, Imlach gained the rights to Perreault by winning a spin on a numbered gaming wheel.
