The WHA Entry Draft was the entry draft for the World Hockey Association, and was held annually between 1973 and 1977. The fledgling WHA had some trouble stocking their teams, and predictably, many of the players drafted by WHA teams never reported, preferring instead to play in the NHL. In 1975, for example, only three of the fifteen first-round picks ever played a game in the rebel league. Other times players would only be lured with extravagant paycheques, such as the $1.3 million contract Pat Price signed with the Vancouver Blazers in 1974.
