Oldest living Sabre/s

[Stoner]

I know the oldest (but had to look it up). Any guesses?

[GASabresIUFAN]

I’ll go with Don Marshall

[Wyldnwoody44]

I have one from my Dad's village that was used against the Mughals after the martyrdom of Guru Arjun in 1606.

That would be correct, sir.

How does one find out such information?

As an aside, any Buffalo Bisons still around? Guy Trottier? Giles Willemite?

Edit: 

Guy Trottier? No 

Giles Villemure? Yes

There are sites with each team's all time roster. You can order for goals, assists even DOB. I'll post a link later.

I actually remember him.  He played our first season and was a key offensive player for the expansion team.  I think he retired after the season.

Marshall's 89. Phil Goyette, who Punch acquired I think along with Marshall is now 87. Both multiple cup winners.

[dudacek]

And the youngest is Dylan Cozens.

I was going to guess Goyette, prior to reading any of the posts in this thread.  Would have been a pretty good guess 

[GASabresIUFAN]

I wonder how many guys from that first team are still with us.  

 

[Marvin]

Jean Guy Talbot is 88

This doesn't sound like much fun for a summer project, but we need a list of all departed Sabre players. The pace of loss is going to pick up.

It wouldn't be hard just time-consuming. If the roster list I have is accurate, and I think it is, because it's a very reputable hockey resource site, then it would just be a matter of googling the name and finding his Wikipedia page. I'm guessing virtually every NHL player has one, even the old-timers. Some of them might be a challenge.

Anyone interested in helping? We could break up the list in some way. There are 531 current and former Buffalo Sabres.

Fine. I'll do it. It's a dark and morbid task, and I definitely won't enjoy it.

I will start at some point.  I am curious as to who is around.  We also would need to keep up each season.

[GASabresIUFAN]

We can start with Robert, Martin and Horton.

Sabres Dead pool?

Anyone remember Reed Larson playing for the Sabres?

He was one player that seemed to grow every season and then fell apart.  Enjoyed watching him play and am sad he is gone.

The next Rick Martin, he was touted.
