No. However two of the three can wear their number they wore as a member of the St. Louis Blues as two numbers are available on the Sabres. Tate Thompson - #32 - Vladimir Sobokta - #17. Patrik Berglund can't wear #21 as Kyle Okposo wears that number. As for the draft picks - there is a rumor going around that the 2019 first rounder wants to wear #9!!! LOL!!!
So if you have a old John Scott/Rob Ray or Marc Andre Gragnani jersey laying in the closet - collecting dust - get it washed and after a nameplate change, you have a current Sabres jersey! LOL!
(Also I know he wasn't part of the trade but former Blue - Carter Hutton wore #40 there and thats free to wear on the Sabres as Robin Lehner is no longer on the team. So all you who got stuck with a Lehner jersey and like to wear a jersey of a Sabres goalie - its only a $32 nameplate change at the Sabres Store away from continuing that tradition. If I had a Lehner, I would change the nameplate to Hutton. I seemed to always have a jersey of a goalie - I have a Barrasso-a Biron and 3 Miller jerseys. Wouldn't mind getting a Ullmark or Hutton jersey in the near future.)
Not interested in getting a Thompson-Sobokta jersey so if I had a Ray-Scott-Gragnani jersey - they would be safe from a nameplate change. (If I had a backup #32 - I would think of a nameplate change to Thompson.)

#21 is already spoken for (Okposo). Unless I missed something big?
No you didn't miss anything big. Just yours truly having one of those moments! Forgot Okposo wears #21 so Berglund would have to get a new number. (Maybe flip-flop the numbers and he wears #12?) I edited my post to correct that mistake - was in the process of doing so when you quoted me - sigh.

If my research is correct, 10, 15, 17, 24, and 25 are the only available numbers between 10-29 if they want a number in that range.
Hutton (40) and Sheary (43) should be OK.

Sobotka actually wore number 71 in St. Louis most recently, which E-Rod has, but I bet you're right about him grabbing 17.
He had 17 before going to Russia but I believe Jaden Schwartz happened while he was there?

Thompson wore #29 at UConn and in San Antonio last season.
People may want to wait a year to get a TNT jersey.

"Eric Cartman?"
"...And up there, Ryan, St. Louis' new Tim Horton's franchisee is putting in the 'Blue Notes Lounge'. By placing it above the entrance-level-concourse, we'll eliminate any chances of vehicular collisions."

Blue Notes? Do they play any other type of music..you know with a bit more emotion?
Oh that's just a name to fit the theme they really play both kinds of music: country and western.
Great...just great.

"You know, just putting on this helmet, and walking around and looking at things people point to, it's really putting me back into a frame of mind of having a spark and really a love of the game, because if I didn't, I'd probably be working with these shlubs."

Hey Ryan, do you see those banners? Yeah, there aren't that many. You should feel at home since we haven't been to the Stanley Cup finals since 1970.
Hell hath no fury like a buffalo fan scorned.
by scorned, i mean you'd better damn well not get traded by their favorite team or else

A whole lotta sniffles and ******** in this thread
Not unreasonable when fans watch their favourite team trade away a low-end 1C and their best trading chip for an underwhelming return.
as a matter of posterity, since he is a former sabre now, I am now declaring my hatred for ror, regardless of what I think of him as a human being
ror can go to hell! I hope the blues don't even sniff the playoffs this year and he loses his love of the game before the all-star break

You do you.
I didn’t feel like that when LaFontaine was traded. I didn’t feel like that when Hasek was traded. I didn’t feel that way when Ray was traded. I didn’t feel that way when Drury and Briere didn’t return. I didn’t feel that way when Barrasso was traded. I didn’t wish any of them ill will, injury, death, dismemberment, or a bad dinner before a game. Same goes for O’Reilly. But the butt hurt (and other choice words) is strong with a few on here. Sad and Funny. All at the same time. I just find that mindset immature I guess.
And i’ll do me.
it's a friendly hatred, no need to get judgementalYou do you.

I hope RoR has more success in STL than Miller did. Having watched those playoffs I can't figure out why they coached him to play soooo deep in the crease. That wasn't his game at all.
My take....
His arms do not fill out the sweater he's wearing.....
and his gut looks to be sticking out more than his chest.....
WTF?????
Is this a 26 year old, in his prime, top of the world, professional hockey player??????

I think when you use that much punctuation the sarcasm is implied.
If not, then, yes. It is a picture of a 26 year old in his prime, a top of the world, professional hockey player.
At the time, the Vanek trade was huge. Moulson was a legit top 6 wing and that first was looking like it would be top ten. We will see but at the time of the trade that return was big.
