Three players have worn #99 in the modern era.  Two of them played for the Sabres (although they did not wear that number here).  Name them.  Taro, please give other people a chance by using the spoiler tags.

No, you've got me stumped on this one.  Including Gretzky only know 2 players that wore that # in the NHL.  So, yes, have 1 of your answers.

Rick Dudley 

But what was his original number with the Sabres and why did he bolt to the WHA?

I actually had a Dudley 17 jersey. I’m sure there is a lot of “lore” as to why he left but I know Punch regretted not keeping him. He was a lot like Dumont in that he brought more to the team then numbers.

And that's the other one!  He wore 99 in the NHL, though, not the WHA.

Not the whole time.  If you hover over the 99 in the upper right hand corner, you'll see it:  https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/d/dudleri01.html

Also, Sean McIndoe had an article about it in the Athletic yesterday, if you have a subscription.  (Actually, he had an article about it even if you don't have a subscription.)

Interesting.  TIL.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
