Who is the Best Sabre to Ever Wear the # 13?

[Dingo44]

I figured with the hockey summer doldrums upon us, I'd run a poll each day on who people think is the best Sabre to ever wear a particular number.

There are 6 players who wore #13 at least once. But to narrow it down, I'm only going to consider those who wore the number at least a full season for a reasonable number of games. Sorry Vyacheslav Kozlov - he only wore it for 38 games, plus forget him. Nick Baptiste needs more games as well. But Jiri Novotny did wear it for 68 games, so he's in.

Only consider how that player played while with the Sabres - so, not their NHL career in general.

I'll stick to the main numbers for which players are known.

Polls will allow voting for two days and I'll post the latest results in each poll.

Results so far:

#1 Don Edwards 77.4%
#2 Tim Horton 96.4%
#3 James Patrick 45.7%
#4 Jerry Korab 52.6%
#5 Mike Ramsey 84.9%
#6 Phil Housley 81.0%
#7 Rick Martin 98.2%
#8 Jim Lorenz 38.1%
#9 Derek Roy 91.3%
#10 Craig Ramsay 47.4%
#11 Gilbert Perreault BYE

Please, no coaching, GM, or owner talk in here!

Your choices are:

Yuri Khmylev 1993-1996
Jiri Novotny 2006-2007
Tim Kennedy 2010

I approve of Slava Kozlov not being in the poll.

Same. He didn't want to be here, and we didn't really want him to be here either.

None of the above. I'm going with Jim Schoenfeld!

1984 - 85 Season.

Per my rules I only had him at 6.

Sabres need some more noteworthy 13’s lol

That was like the old Soviet bread lines. Yeah I got bread. Oh this bread is mouldy.

Too bad, he is the best #13, your rules or not.

Sadly , by your rules Khmylev would win this ugly race.

On second thought, I'm sticking with Schoenfeld, rules be damned....

Well, seeing how Schoeny pretty much sucked at that point in his career, him not being on the list isn’t a big deal at all.

Yes, he was past it, injuries had caught up to him by that point.

Just trying to give some love his way as our other candidates basically all sucked.

There was a time when #13 was sort of a forbidden #.

Yeah, it's Yuri.......... geeez.........
