Hockey career

Sedlbauer was drafted 23rd overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1974 NHL amateur draft. He played 430 career NHL games, scoring 143 goals and 86 assists for 229 points. He also shares the modern-day record, along with Rick Nash, for fewest assists in a 40+ goal season. Sedlbauer scored 40 goals in the 1978–79 season, but only registered 16 assists. He held the record for 26 seasons until Nash tied it in the 2003–04 NHL season by scoring 41 goals and only 16 assists. After appearing in 32 games with ten goals and four assists to start the 1979–80 campaign, he was dealt from the Canucks to the Chicago Black Hawks for Dave Logan and Harold Phillipoff on December 21. [1] His contract was purchased from the Black Hawks by the Toronto Maple Leafs on February 18, 1981. The transaction was the Maple Leafs' attempt to bolster its winger positions after injuries to Dan Maloney and René Robert. [2]
