Traded to Jets by Montreal for cash ($50,000), October 4, 1979. Traded to St. Louis Blues for Doug Evans, January 22, 1990.
In one of General Manager John Ferguson's most astute moves, the Jets purchased Ron Wilson from the Montreal Canadiens' organization prior to the 1979-1980 season. The diminutive Wilson spent the next nine seasons in a Jets uniform as an invaluable role player and he became a fan favorite for his work ethic. He was an outstanding penalty killer and he stepped in and performed admirably well in any role the Jets asked of him.
