==Regular Season==
With the continuing depletion of talent due to the World Hockey Association and a lack of interest from owner Charles O. Finley who put the team up for sale, the Seals had a miserable season and sank to a franchise low 36 points.
In January 1974, the NHL bought the Seals from owner Charlie Finley for $6.585 million.Charlie Finley: The Outrageous Story of Baseball’s Super Showman, p.201-2, G. Michael Green and Roger D. Launius. Walker Publishing Company, New York, 2010, ISBN 978-0-8027-1745-0 With the league takeover, the players immediately returned to wearing black skates. The Seals had the worst record in the National Hockey League with a 13-55-10 record.Charlie Finley: The Outrageous Story of Baseball’s Super Showman, p.169, G. Michael Green and Roger D. Launius.
