Tondas Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Very bored and can't sleep. I didn't find a thread like this (though there's likely to be one with this group), so I thought what a good time to revel in Sabres past glory. With all the uninspiring players on the team now, I thought I'd give my picks on the best All-Time Sabres line up. I've been watching since 1970, so I've seen them all. There were some really good times.

He struck fear into opponents anytime they were anywhere near the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'd put Satan ahead of Foligno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Now if you're really bored and tired try to do that with a salary cap based on what those guys would command in today's market...........gonna have to think about adding crazy Spinner Spencer if you do that ;) Mike Peca should be on the roster and I think Don Luce deserves more consideration. Him and Ramsey were among the best penalty killers/defensive duos in the league. Satan doesn't deserve to be there. Also, despite current issues, no way is Jack Eichel not better than Vanek and several others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hawechuk - 342gms 110g -275a = 385 pts Drury - 234gms 85g - 104a = 189pts Briere - 225gms 92g - 138a = 230 pts Hawerchuk is the no. 3 center on the all time team Eichel - in another year or two he’ll make this list. Also Doug Bodger needs to be considered over Cambell and McKee as does Korab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Doug Bodger needs to be considered over Cambell and McKee as does Korab Agree on Hawerchuk (obviously). Where is Zhitnik on this list? Satan is Top 10 in a bunch of categories I think (too lazy to look up the accuracy of that claim right now). No love for late 90's Sabres. I'd take Peca over Briere as well, but that's just my personal flavor, nothing against Danny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) As mentioned, Hawerchuck is the 3rd center. And I'm inclined to put Peca in over Drury and Briere. I don't think I'd have Briere in a center spot at all on that roster. And, I agree that Luce deserves 4th line center consideration. If you aren't sure, look where he stands in Sabres all time points leaders. Edited February 19, 2018 by We've Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Luce is the 4th line center.

Eleven Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Luce was perhaps the best penalty killer the team ever had. And I'm not putting Campbell on an all-time best team. McKee, I will, but he's one of my favorites so I'm biased. I'll take Fogolin instead. If you need an offensive-minded defenseman there, I'll put Zhithead in. Miller was far and away a better goaltender than Barasso. He's the second string. There cannot be a serious question about this. McKee wore 74 and not 38. Maybe he wore 38 as a Simonick number, but he wore 74. Satan can ###### right off. I'd rather have Sanderson or Afinogenov if that's the role we're trying to fill, and if we're not trying to fill the "speedster" role, I'd rather have Peca. And on edit: Hawerchuk is in over a lot of those guys. As mentioned, Hawerchuck is the 3rd center. And I'm inclined to put Peca in over Drury and Briere. I don't think I'd have Briere in a center spot at all on that roster. And, I agree that Luce deserves 4th line center consideration. If you aren't sure, look where he stands in Sabres all time points leaders. Briere, hanging out just to the left of the net (as we see it; it would be the goalie's right), was ###### deadly. I'd rather him over Drury, because Luce needs to be in. Edited February 20, 2018 by Eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matter2003 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I would take Tallinder over McKee...for a year and half before he got hurt Tallinder was dominant...never was the same once he came back but McKee was never at that level...
