Chicago Blackhawks acquire Toronto Maple Leafs forward via trade today in hockey history

49 years ago to this day, the Chicago Blackhawks completed a trade to improve their lineup.

One player whom the team acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs was Jim Harrison.

Harrison played center and was a Bonnyville, Alberta, Canada-born forward who shot right-handed and would be considered "undersized" today at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds.

The Blackhawks traded for the Maple Leafs' talent on September 28th, 1976, as they sent a future in return for him: a 2nd-round pick in 1977.

Harrison, who was originally a part of the rebel WHA league at its inception, was once the Edmonton Oilers' scoring champion in 1972-73. But his NHL career with Toronto didn't turn out to be so, as he'd play a total of only 107 games for the Blackhawks, scoring 60 points (24-36), and he'd end his hockey career with the Edmonton Oilers in 1979-80.

Harrison wouldn't be a part of a Stanley Cup push, but played out his role as a depth scorer in the Windy City.

Bob Gladney would be selected 24th overall in 1977 by the Toronto Maple Leafs and would have a short career in the NHL, spanning a total of 14 games played with the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Los Angeles Kings from 1982 to 1984.

The Chicago Blackhawks and Toronto Maple Leafs wouldn't reach the Stanley Cup with either player.
