Dealt to the New York Rangers along with Carol Vadnais in a blockbuster trade that sent Jean Ratelle, Brad Park and Joe Zanussi to the Boston Bruins, this signed stick was used by HOF star Phil Esposito during his first season in Manhattan in 1975-76, and with a “Nov 6, 1975” date stamp – one day before the historic trade, this is most likely the first stick employed by Espo with the Blueshirts. A Northland Custom Pro model with “Esposito” stamped to the upper shaft, his pattern number is also added along the top edge of the shaft, with the original black tape to the blade and white bee hive style to the handle. Exhibiting great use with the striping accent intact, Espo has added a dark marker signature to the upper shaft. This is one of the nicer Esposito sticks we have ever offered.
