Buffalo Sabres top 50 of all time

[stenbaro]

IMO Peca is somewhere between Craig Ramsay and Donnie Luce..  Barnaby is in the same neighborhood as Benoit Hogue.  Barnaby isn't top 50 material.

I would like to add that the Cup chase in the late 90's and early 2000's all mostly respinsible because of The Dominator, I feel they wouldnt have been that close if Michael Peca wasnt on those teams. He was not the team Mvp but they dont win without him playing as well as he did in the many roles he filled. With that being said he should definitely be in the high teens imo

Good names. Is Luce in the running?

[Hoss]

Mike Ramsey is the winner for the eighth spot. A little higher than I expected but totally justified.

 

I plan to keep it at four candidates each round and will just edit out whichever candidate wins. It'll be easier for me, mainly.

 

But this isn't my thread, so if others contest the format I'll change it without hesitation.

 

Thanks to those participating.

If for no other reason than his involvement in bringing Molginy to the NHL. Where he lands is debatable.

Big Dave. I could've gone Ramsay.

What a story. "I want to be free."

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Voted Ramsay again this time.

 

I really do believe he should be in the top 10.

I did as well.  He was probably the 2nd best defensive forward in the league nearly every year he played.  Damn you, Bob Gainey.

Ramsay. His numbers and longevity are exceptional.

[Hoss]

We've got a tie. Next vote decides.

I'm pretty sure we've has already voted.

 

What if the next vote is for Miller?

[Hoss]

Still need a tiebreaker

[Hoss]

Andreychuk gets the nod at nine. Who will top of the top ten?

[ubkev]

I've only seen Miller out of that group. I will abstain from voting in this round.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

RAMSAY!!

[Neo]

In with Craig Ramsay, and so happy about it.

You can abstain if you want, but it'd be cool if you don't. We're all Sabres fans with an equal stake in all of this. More voting is preferred.

I haven't voted a single time.  I've learned all I know about Sabres history from this board, so my votes would basically be an amalgam of opinions from posters on this board that I love filtered by my own bias. I feel like that vote can only lower the value of the results.

Vote for Ramsay ... you know you want to.

*shudder* No, I don't think I do.

[3putt]

I voted for Ramsay, though I think he rates higher.

#10 is appropriate though.  1972 to 1985.

Schoney, and Ramsay retired the year I was born and Robert 3 years before that. I've never seen them play at all. I don't think it's right to vote for Miller by default. All the others that I have voted for have impacted my hockey watching life significantly.

 

There were some good times with Miller, and I do own his jersey. But I'm not sure if they were top 10 good times.

 

And to be honest I'm just waiting on Derek Roy at this point! :p

[Hoss]

I imagine this won't be an issue since this never really got going, but if anybody wants to keep this thing going you'll have to migrate this to your own thread. I won't be updating it.

That is your choice, but the participants have enjoyed this thread.

 

Maybe you should take the rest of the day off and come back fresh tomorrow.

[Neo]

In no particular order, yet, as I contemplate the next ten*:

 

Schoenfeld

Luce

Miller

Vanek

Turgeon

Hajt

Howerchuk

Foligno

McKegny

Drury

Brier

Satan

Korab

Zhitnik

Robert

Bodger

Barasso

Dumont

Ray

Roy

 

*. assumes Ramsay holds his lead for this round.

Can we officially declare Ramsay number 10? Ol' Hoss may be on sabbatical. It'd be nice to see this result affirmed by acclimation before the thread dies, way too young.

 

At the time of my writing, Ramsay has 6 votes, twice any competitor. He's lead for several days.
