Who is the Greatest Buffalo Sabre All-Time Whose Last Name Started with "B"?

[VaporTrail]

I'm asking who is the best Sabre all-time whose last name started with the letter "B"? This is for their time with the Sabres, and I'm arbitrarily selecting a 75 game minimum as a Sabre. 50 was too low and 75 should represent a full season even with a bit of an injury - or a goalie after a couple of years.

Of course, I'll run through the rest of the alphabet, up until the regular season starts.

Results so far:

A: Dave Andreychuk 91.2%

Let the voting begin!

Cool idea on doing this with the alphabet

Why is no one voting for Bogosian?

I'm going off the beaten path and showing CuBro some love.

Gilbert Berreault. That guy was pretty good

Not to get too far ahead of ourselves but it’s now becoming imperative that we sign Zegras.

Zhitnik has us pretty well covered there. It's X and Y that are the problem spots (I sincerely hope there is a Q poll with just one option).

Do we skip "T" cause we know its going to Taro

Ahh...Barrasso was good in Buffalo but he didn't reach another level until afterward. Not necessarily his fault, but as a Sabre he wasn't the best "B".

His Vezina win was in Buffalo, and he finished 2nd twice. He was also thrice top 10 Hart voting while here. He didn't win back to back cups with Pittsburgh because he played better there, he was behind a fantastic team.

Barrasso was head and shoulders (and head and shoulders above) better than Briere. He also played more games in Buffalo than Briere did.

Yeah, I honestly thought this would be a closer vote than it is.

I went Briere, but I hesitated at Bodger

 

[reckoning]

Voted Briere. Barrasso had a solid regular season resume for his five seasons in Buffalo, but his playoff record with the Sabres is pretty bad.

 

[Intermission]

Marty, he's here now and he was pretty good too.

Botterill played only 36 games as a Sabre but was a GM for a couple seasons, he should be included on this list

I said it was not necessarily his fault because Pitt was a better team. I still think Briere was better but who cares...it's just an opinion poll.

The answer is "Barrassa!"

Or Briere.....
