Washington's general manager, Milt Schmidt, referred to Joly at the time as "the next Bobby Orr,[1] but after playing 365 National Hockey League (NHL) games over the course of nine sesons for Washington (1974–76) and the Detroit Red Wings (1976–83), he was out of the NHL by the age of 29.[1] Joly is considered to have been a draft bust.[2][3][4]
