Everett was traded to the Nordiques in the Greg Millen deal in March 1990 and immediately made an impact in Quebec, scoring six points in nine games. A big, physical player who cut down his penalty time dramatically in 1989-90, Everett is tough in front of the net, where he uses his size to screen opposing goalies. A full-blooded Indian, Everett was the Blackhawks' first-round pick in 1986. He scored 20 points in 57 games with Chicago in 1987-88 and then gave the Blackhawks a boost with two goals in his first playoff game on April 10, 1988 against the Blues. He played his junior hockey with Verdun and Granby in Quebec.
