Favorite 22's =  Lindy Ruff, Jocelyn Guevremont, Adam Mair and honorable mention to Donnie Marshal (for that 20 goal effort in the Sabres first season).

 

Lets not forget Richie Dunn for #21.

Forgot he'd worn 21.  Will never forget 99 flying past #3 on 2/24/82 on his way to breaking the NHL single season goal scoring record and tying the professional ice hockey single season goal scoring record netting his 1st of 3 that night.

Bad things, man, bad things.

Luce is the top #20.   His replacement, Brent Peterson, also wore 20   

Mike Hartman liked to drop ‘em, he wore 20   

Big shout out to Dick Duff, he ended a long and excellent career wearing 20 and playing for the expansion Sabres teams on 70 and 71.

Lots of crappy 19s.  But McCabe wore it, and Krebs wears it.

Yeah, like I said, lots of crappy ones.

Connolly could have had a career if he had taken care of himself, and I don't mean his dome.

Derek Smith.  #19.  Developed in Rochester, had a few 20 goal season for Buffalo.  Sold insurance to my wife’s family.

14 - Rene Robert (and a personal favorite Alan Haworth). 
 

Good trivia question:  what other numbers did Robert wear as a Sabres? One will be a surprise.

I will give you a multiple choice for 15:

 

Jack Eichel

 

Dixon Ward

 

Gerry Meehan

Eichel is 15/9.  I’ll go with Meehan, the guy who brought in Mogilny.

14 is Rene Robert, full stop.  
 

Haworth was a guy we should have not traded.

400 points in 524 NHL games, including a 73-point season.

I vaguely remembered he went on to play with the Caps, but did not recall how successful he was.

Bowman got two seconds for him, neither of which did much (Mike Anderson, Timo Jutila)

Bowman learned what not to do while he was a GM here.  He was a patsy for the league.

We are Robert days away.

Henrik Tallinder days away! I would have said Brad May, but he had a few numbers. 

We're 20 days away from the RS starting?  Strange, seems closer than that, like maybe being Dale Hawerchuck days away. 😉
