NOTE
After Detroit signed restricted free agent Rogie Vashon, NHL arbitrator Ed Houston ordered that Detroit transfer McCourt's NHL rights to Los Angeles as compensation on August 8, 1978.

McCourt refused to go to Los Angeles and he would sue the NHL, the NHLPA, the Red Wings and Kings in an effort to prevent prevent him from going to Los Angeles.

While the cases were tied up in the courts, McCourt continued to play for Detroit, spending the entire 1978-79 season there along with Vachon. In the process, McCourt angered many fellow NHL players, who thought his actions were undermining the NHLPA, which had agreed to the compensation requirements in its Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The situation was resolved on August 22, 1979 when Los Angeles traded McCourt's rights back to Detroit for Andre St. Laurent and 2 first round draft picks.

The legal battles McCourt went through took it's toll on him, and he later stated he "lost all interest in wanting to play in the NHL at all"
