Keep waiting, rumor has it (from the guy with the ROR trade call) that they're going to royal blue for the 50th season.

So now we know why Kane was traded.

[Randall Flagg]

Kane's influence over the young stars continues to wreak havoc on the locker room, even after he's moved thousands of miles away.

Yep.  I'm being patient.

 

Except for that spankin' new Dahlin jersey hanging on my wall.

 

Patient.

I'm actually kind of excited that my #15 will be considered vintage at some point.

It's a banner that you rode victorious through the post-tank wasteland.

No he shouldn't.

He should be able to choose any number he wants without worrying about a bunch of cry-baby fans whining about his number change.

It's just a number on a Jersey, plus now the #15 is a badge of honor, shows that you've been backing Eichel since the early days, before he won all those harts and cups and so on.

Trivia (without looking): Eichel has the second most goals and assists in Sabres history for a player wearing 15. The same player is ahead of him in both.

What player is it?

 

A little easier: who has the most goals and assists while wearing #9?

I added a poll to the topic. 15 vs 9.

And you didn't include 41? I'm calling the ACLU.

Until they go Royal Blue or start winning, I don't care. 

[sabills]

A quick and not so great attempt

Cool, thanks for joining the discussion.

 

The Sabres store will be offering $49 towards an exchange of #15 Eichel jerseys for #9 jerseys.

I don't even know who wore 15 besides Eichel. 

[Randall Flagg]

I only know Zubrus.

Does he actually consider himself entering a new stage or is that just phrasing to justify the change?

I had to look it up. Now I understand why I wouldn't really know it. Before my time.

Outside of Zubrus and Stuart he’s the only one that I knew of. But no he doesn’t hold the top numbers.

[sweetlou]

Dixon ward- 56 goals, 80 assists, 136 pts

His new contract starts this year, so that's kind of a big deal. I hope he's seeing it as something he needs to live up to. #9 is probably a nice thing to attach to that.

Bingo. Thanks for the reminder.
