Monday Oakland was forced o trade Numbers catch Brian Glennie TORONTO CP- BrianGlen nle is a victim of numbers hockey style Whereas the numbers game In Canadian pro football 1 elates to the import homebrew quota In Glennies case with Toronto Maple Leafs its too much com competition ¬ petition The young defencemans big biggest ¬ gest challenge this year has been to sit back and collect 20000 from a National Hockey League club that doesn t want him He doesnt complain publicly he considers that unprofes unprofessional ¬ sional but quietly admits he would prefer playing in Los Angeles or Oakland to standing by and playing at the discretion of coach John McLellan But under NHL waiver rules he doesn t expect to go any anywhere ¬ where this season and will prob probably ¬ ably hang around for the league draft next June when he may go to one of the new expansion franchises Long Island NY or Atlanta I ve got no reason to rock the boat Im well paid said the 6-foot-1 197 pounder who graduated with his BA from the University of Toronto last week But its difficult to be with the team and not be part of it The guys are good they try to make me feel part of things But you cant because there you are on the bus with everybody after a win and you havent contributed a thing Glennie is one of 21 players with the Leafs Only 19 can dress for the game The other surplus player Billy MacMillan las been sidelined with a leg in injury ¬ jury but is expected to rejoin the club this week Leafs have seven defencemen one more than they can use The NHL has rules that make sure established players ac tually play But the rules are flexible and almost every team has players who watch from the press box players such as Glen Glennie ¬ nie unspectacular but nonethe nonetheless ¬ less competent workers The Toronto native makes up for his limitations wlthaneager- ness to play that would endear him to coaches and general-managers of have not clubs Leafs would rather keep him in the system but the waiver rules prevent them from farm farming ¬ ing him out where he could be playing regularly To do so would mean waiving him through the entire league and theyd surely lose him The failure of the waivers sys system ¬ tem is obvious When an NHL coach thinks a player isn t good enough to play as a regular but the general manager knows other NHL teams could use him that player Is relegated to a press bo view of the game The situation has Alan Eagle son the NHL Players Associa Association ¬ tion executive director con concerned ¬ cerned I feel this is a legitimate complaint Its not fair to the players and it s something which will be on our paper for discussion at the league meetings in January Eagleson has suggesged two rule changes The number of players al allowed ¬ lowed on a teams roster should be reduced to 19 the same num number ¬ ber allowed in uniform for a gam A player who sits out more than a stipulated number of games perhaps five should have the right to go to an arbiter or Clarence Campbell NHL presi president ¬ dent The arbiter or Campbell would then have the right to force the team to accept the best trade offer they had received for the player I know the Leafs have had several trade offers for Glen Glennie ¬ nie but they w ant too much for him said Eagleson for a pitcher because of the un- c e r t a i n t y of Injury plague J Chuck Dobson and John
