The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Derlago from the Vancouver Canucks alongside Rick Vaive for Dave Williams and Jerry Butler.
The Leafs signed Bozak out of the University of Denver as a free agent and he has now played over 500 career games, a remarkable achievement for an undrafted player.
Similarity #1: Great Playmaker
Derlago had a very nice shot (he scored a career high 40 goals in 1983-84) but his playmaking abilities were even better. He would use his strong skating and above average stick handling to create space and then pass the puck across the crease, or he would go behind the net and pass the puck in front.
