Does anyone have an idea where this start puts Vanek on the all-time Sabre list? Has any Sabre started their career faster?

 

Can't really pinpoint the 248 games, but for comparson using full season stats ... and guys who started their careers as Sabres ... these three technically started faster ... might be others but I doubt it ... :

Vanek 248 gp, 109 g, 92 a, 201 pts

Perreault 232-92-142-234

Martin 226-133-100-233

Turgeon 236-88-148-236

 

EDIT - Like INK said as he beat me to it, good company

Rico -- 1st 3 years:

 

228 gp

133 g

100 a

233 pts

 

if you add his 4th year, you get 296 gp, 185 g, 143 a, 328 pts.

 

And that doesn't include the awesome mustache and cool #7. My favorite player when I was a kid.
