I'm not sure what the thinking was behind drafting Cairns at #20. As history would show, he only played 3 pro seasons, all of
them, save 9 games, being in the minors, he would be billed as a bust.
He didn't particularly impress in the minors, either. Far from it, actually, especially for someone that was drafted so high.
After the CHL's Phoenix Roadrunners (the team he was on at the time) folded during the 77-78 season, no one picked him up,
and he opted to retire.
