Notes:
Cool addition to my obscure little Cleveland Barons collection! Rick Hampton was an offensively gifted defenseman for the doomed Seals/Barons franchise. In his sophomore season, at the age of 19, he scored 51 points for the final Golden Seals club. The next year - the first in Cleveland - he put up 40 points in 56 games. He had loads of promise, but those years ended up being the highlights. After the Barons-North Stars merger, Hampton landed with the Los Angeles Kings, where he hung around for one full season followed by three final NHL games the next year.
