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

[Dingo44]

I'm asking who is the best Sabre all-time whose last name started with the letter "J"? This is for their time with the Sabres, and I'm arbitrarily selecting a 75 game minimum as a Sabre.

Remember, this is all-time and includes every season since the beginning of the franchise - not just the recent ones.

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

No one qualifies for I. Billy Ingles, Randy Ireland, and Matt Irwin weren't even close.

I was going to wait to do the J poll on Monday, but with a three-man race, I figured I'd just throw this one out there.

Results so far:

A: Dave Andreychuk 91.2%
B: Danny Briere 73.1%
C: Brian Campbell 50.6%
D: Rasmus Dahlin 66.3%
E: Jack Eichel 48.1%
F: Mike Foligno 93.2%
G: Danny Gare 94.5%
H: Dominik Hasek 95.3%
I: No one qualified

This is Johansson kinda by default, right?
I mean, it certainly isn't Johnson.

Could it be Jokiharju?

Can I vote for RJ?

 

[dugman]

I think the situation calls for a little creativity, so I’m going with a write-in vote for TaroTsu Jimoto.

Is it someone who makes my baby cry less and me sleep more? I used to think I was making jokes now I just stammer through life missing Patrick Kaleta....

Could it be Jokiharju?

Johansson had the great rookie season before being traded midway through his second year. Joker has played more games as a Sabre, and they're tied on points. Joker has more goals though (13 to 6).

I mean, I think there's a real argument it's Jokiharju, but the higher "peak" as a Sabre belongs to Johansson. I'll give the nod to Johansson, but it very well could be Joker a year from now, even if Jokiharju just has another average season...

Jeanneret, Rick

I would legit vote for Tyson Jost over Joker. Net zero crushes net negative

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

Jost could theoretically qualify by the end of this season. Ryan Johnson in a few seasons maybe. But similar to the above post, Rick Jeanneret gets my vote.

 

[SECRET SQUIRREL]

Juneau?

Calle Yo

 

[MOGlLNY]

Rick Jeanneret

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

[BUCKSHOT]

[KiwiGriff]

I abstain.

And yes we all know the greatest J Sabre, and it’s RJ.

 

[DJN21]

How come matt irwin didn't get his moment in the sun for the I's?

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

One of two definitively worse trades than RoR, even at the time of the latter trade.
