Eleven Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Three players have worn #99 in the modern era. Two of them played for the Sabres (although they did not wear that number here). Name them. Taro, please give other people a chance by using the spoiler tags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including Gretzky only know 2 players that wore that # in the NHL. So, yes, have 1 of your answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondas Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 No idea, but thanks @Eleven for keeping this board going through all this. You are definitely a glue guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Rick Dudley But what was his original number with the Sabres and why did he bolt to the WHA? Edited April 13, 2020 by GASabresIUFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had a Dudley 17 jersey. I’m sure there is a lot of “lore” as to why he left but I know Punch regretted not keeping him. He was a lot like Dumont in that he brought more to the team then numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
