‘The Sabres drafted Andreychuk 16th overall in the 1982 Entry Draft. That’s the same draft where Buffalo took current coach Phil Housley sixth overall and Paul Cyr ninth overall. Buffalo had five picks in the top 30 that year, but Mike Anderson and Jens Johansson never made the NHL. In a statement Housley said, “I want to congratulate my friend Dave Andreychuk on being named to the Hockey Hall of Fame. I have so many memories of coming into the league together as rookies. It was an honor and a privilege to spend eight seasons with Dave in Buffalo playing the game we love.”‘
