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 11 players who wore #16 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 Butch Deadmarsh, Randy Wyrozub, Real Lemieux, Paul Brydges, Mike Donnelly, and Darrin Shannon.
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
#12 Ales Kotalik 57.8%
#13 Yuri Khmylev 89.8%
#14 René Robert 100%
