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

[Dingo44]

I'm asking who is the best Sabre all-time whose last name started with the letter "T"? 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.

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
J: Calle Johansson 51.3% (Honorable Mention - Rick Jeanneret)
K: Jerry Korab 71.9%
L: Pat LaFontaine 80.0%
M: Rick Martin 48.2%
N: Teppo Numminen 100.0%
O: Kyle Okposo 55.7%
P: Gilbert Perreault 98.5%
Q: Jack Quinn by default
R: Rene Robert 27.5%
S: Jim Schoenfeld 68.8%

It’s Turgeon right now, but not for much longer.

 

[TehDoak]

Any poll without Vladimir Tsyplakov is INVALID.

 

[DapperCam]

Turgeon for now. Will end up being Thompson or Tuch.

 

[buffalowing88]

I'll be a hipster and vote Tallinder. At his peak I think he was one of the best defensive defensemen in the league and the rock on some of our most competitive teams in franchise history.

 

[Ehran]

Someday, god willing, this will be Thompson.

But today my vote is Turgeon.

Tallinder is a solid 3rd in this poll

/poll.

Tallinder is a solid 3rd in this poll

Wouldn't be the first time he's a solid third

 

[Mattilaus]

Where is Tsujimoto?

 

[Zman5778]

Right now it's Sneaky Pete.

Gonna end up being Thompson or Tuch, probably Thompson.

 

[Tatanka]

Where is Tsuijmoto?

Seriously, this is a travesty omitting such storied member of the franchise.

They should have called him up from the Tokyo Katanas so he could have dressed for more games.

The Katanas needed the draw with the arena referendum. His anti- Hello Kitty campaign was his ultimate undoing though.

How dare he!

 

[VaporTrail]

Tanti was very good player just done though by the time he got to Buffalo...Tucker was one of my favorite players as a kid....Turgeon had better stats than Tage but I chose Thompson based on what's most likely to come.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Turgeon. For now.

Well played. And those secondhand references will never be third-rate Sabres humor.

========
Tucker had more games than Sneaky Pete and nearly as many points.
I voted #77, but I have a hard time recalling a less impactful #1 OA choice with such a long NHL career, and similarly so little overall team impact for the teams he played for, despite being a steady PPG player for his career.

Fun fact: Future Sabre Rory Fitzpatrick was once a throw-in with Turgeon in their trade from MTL to STL.

 

[Tsujimoto]

Where is Tsujimoto?

I'm right here bro

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

I'm right here bro

My brain votes for Tage, my heart votes for Tsujimoto.

 

[Mattilaus]

I'm right here bro

I would have voted for you

 

[oldgoalie]

Sneaky Pete it is…

 

[LongWayDown37]

This is Turgeon. Tage or Tuch in the future.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Oooooohhhhhh, La, La…..
