I know who it is. Tallon was strictly a guess based on a Buffalo selection. Sadly, the first two answers were at the forefront of my mind. Anyway, I only remember one other player with a Buffalo connection, but, I will defer

Butch Deadmarsh St Louis Dale Tallon?

I’ve stopped trying to understand the brain and memory but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have gotten Russell if I cheated.

I have no idea why this name popped in my head and I’m not sure he played enough, but how about Don Lever?

I’m pretty sure that was one of my correct guesses but I’m going with the crowd and refusing to look.

My phone a friend guess- Charles Huddy

I assumed he already had 1000. I have brought those three up before. Duff, Marshall and Goyette.

Clark Gillies, Mike Grier, James Patrick?

Cool

*****. I should have double checked. There were only 2. Im getting old.

When did Arbour play for Buffalo?

Here is a new question. Three Buffalo Sabres have won the Bill Masterson Trophy. Three other players who have played for the Sabres have won it. Can you name all 6?

Dennis Wideman? He had to be close too Never would have guessed O’Donnell.

I know Carney had a pretty good career. He had to be close. No one else comes to mind.

I would do this if he wanted to but I’ve pretty much given up on the offer sheet route.

Calle Johansson is always my favorite answer for this question. Pierre Turgeon and Alex Migilny have also been in the news lately. Do you know how many there are?

Correct

I also think we will see a lot of Dahlin/Powers, Mule/Clifton depending on game situation, schedule, ice time.

Not him.

I figured we needed some lighter fare after the draft and free agency. Jochen Hecht was acquired from Edmonton for two second round picks. One became a pretty good player eventually winning a couple Cups with a team other than Edmonton. However, he may be more known for whom he married. Who is the still married couple?

To put this to bed; Zack Kassian Phillipe Bouchet

And this is a huge point. Historically, goaltenders don’t move at the deadline. Besides Miller I remember Huet and no one else. I’m sure someone will remember others. There is more to the concept of a goalie adapting to the team in front of him then most realize besides the fact that teams that aren’t interested now won’t be interested at the deadline unless, as Dudacek points out, there’s an injury.

A) he’s not going to give up $6M by sitting out B) he can’t become a free agent till he plays out the year

A) he really doesn’t have a say B) Buffalo would be a no lose situation for him. He leads them to the playoffs, he will cash in. He doesn’t and the Sabres weren’t ready. C) Even though Winnipeg did well with PLD trade, they are still in a rebuild mode

I think they want Hellebuyck, I think they are willing to take him for a year, I think they prefer for him to agree to a one year extension, I think they are not really close to a deal, I think both GM’s are notoriously patient, I think it’s possible they settle for Gibson. To be clear, this is all me putting dots together and nothing else.
