Alright, I don't have any difficult ones off hand. So everyone gets a break with this one. 

Name the last 4 Sabres to score at least 80 points in a single season. 

Also I think I’m protesting my answer being wrong lol

I think there's a problem with the premise of the question, should be 5.  (I looked it up because it was killing me)

Lol, nope! My guy had the primary on the final goal of the season. So he's last!😛

And I'll be honest with ya, it never even registered with me that Pominville scored 80 that year. I just knew in the back of my head that my guy was the points leader that year with 81 and no Sabre even came close to it for over a decade.

Can’t believe I have to be That Guy in what is a great, fun thread. lol but if you look at the scoring summary of the last game, your guy’s primary on the final goal was actually his 81st point. The more recent to join the 80 point club was on the goal before 

I’m so sorry for being That Guy

It's still funny. 

But no one can post a new question until the most hated Sabre, that has NO GOOD REASON to be hated in the least, has his name posted!

Darn right.

I’m going to give you a high degree of difficulty (I hope): 

Who was the only player to wear jersey number 50 for the Buffalo Sabres?

I can give hints if it is needed.

I know it’s a goalie.  Can’t for the life of me remember the guy’s name.

WTF continent are you from?

It is very common to say learnt in the UK.  

 

[Pimlach]

I can think of 5 players that played for the Buffalo Bisons and the Buffalo Sabres?   

 

Name them (and no internet).

Fiddlesticks.  I used to know this one.

[KC Scouts]

only know one...Dave Dryden

 

[French Collection]

I’m out,I have no idea who ever played for the Bisons.

It would have to be in the first season or two.

That’s right. Nathan L something.

[shrader]

It’s not really trivia since I have no idea what the answer is. These playoffs have me wondering how many times the first and second overall pick from the same draft have played together.

Again, I obviously know one (Roger) but for some reason I also remember Al Hamilton played for the Bisons as well. One of my first, favorite players.

Roger Crozier is another one. 

Al Hamilton is the most obvious one because he played for the Bisons in their last 2 seasons, and then for the Sabres in their first 2 seasons. 
 

Thats 3 total so far, there are a few more.

I'm hopeless here.

[Taro T]

Trying to confirm a guy was pretty sure had played with the Bisons but turned out to be wrong, accidentally found out 1 of the correct answers.  Won't give his name, but will give the clues that he was a Bison from '61-'64 and went to the Phlyers after an early '70's stint with the Sabres.

[Eleven]

I think we need a time limit.  Like two days or three?  Because this is a TOUGH question.

[Pimlach]

In addition to Crozier, Dryden, and Al Hamilton, There are 4 more Bison-Sabres.  

Hints  

One is a popular figure in Sabres history.

One is an obscure player.  

Two were good NHL players that played for the Bisons briefly when they were young, and then played for the Sabres briefly when they were old.
