NHL Record Still Stands
An interesting anecdote in the career of Ralph Klassen is noteworthy; Klassen was claimed by Hartford after being left unprotected by Colorado in the NHL Expansion Draft on June 13, 1979. Hartford immediately traded him to the N.Y. Islanders for Terry Richardson. The Islanders then immediately traded him to St. Louis to complete a three-team deal in which St. Louis had sent Richardson and Barry Gibbs to the N.Y. Islanders in exchange for future considerations. The multiple trades made Klassen the only player in NHL history to be property of four different teams (Colorado, Hartford, N.Y. Islanders, St. Louis) in one day, a record which has never been matched.

Famous quotes containing the words record and/or stands:
“He will not idly dance at his work who has wood to cut and cord before nightfall in the short days of winter; but every stroke will be husbanded, and ring soberly through the wood; and so will the strokes of that scholar’s pen, which at evening record the story of the day, ring soberly, yet cheerily, on the ear of the reader, long after the echoes of his axe have died away.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Anybody who runs is a VC. Anybody who stands still is a well-disciplined VC.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
