Traded to Jets by Boston Bruins for Wade Campbell, January 31, 1986. Traded to Quebec Nordiques for Quebec's 4th choice in 1989 Entry Draft, January 5, 1987.
The Jets acquired Bill Derlago midway through the 1985-1986 season and he spent parts of two seasons with the Jets before finishing his career the following year as a member of the Quebec Nordiques. The Jets initially pursued the former fourth-overall selection of the 1978 NHL Amateur Draft in the summer of 1978, but he elected to sign with the Vancouver Canucks instead. He topped the 30-goal plateau four times during his NHL career, but he played only a minimal role for the Jets.
