Goodfella25 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Can anyone remember this guy and what sort of a player he was for the Sabres? Thanks in advance! If I remember correctly, he was a late-round draft pick in the late 90s that was much older than the average rookie (i think he was already 27 or 28 when he made his sabres debut). He played in only a few games for us somewhere between 2000 and 2002....I don't know, he seemed pretty solid but then he signed in Europe the next season and never came back.

Even more remarkably, he was about 26 when he was drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Even more remarkably, he was about 26 when he was drafted. I wouldn't call it remarkable. There were drafting one of those players each year back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
