How are they doing now? (Former Sabres Players) Top 100 pics/stories
- Thread starter Dubi Doo

I wonder if the following was the reference - Gogulla was drafted in the second round, 48th overall, by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. He signed an entry-level contract with the Buffalo Sabres on June 1, 2007, to prevent him from re-entering the NHL entry draft in 2007 athough there was some confusion as to whether he had signed. NHL rules state prospects must be signed before 5:00pm EDT on June 1 or the team's rights to the player expire and he is free to re-enter the draft or become a free agent. Gogulla was signed by this deadline, but the contract had to be approved by the NHL. There was a delay in the approval process meaning the deal could not be announced and so it was assumed that the management had failed to sign Gogulla in time. On June 2, 2007, the deal was approved and announced as a three-year entry-level contract.

@ByMHarrington - This looks super sharp. Check it out during #Bisons homestand by Section 107 at Coca-Cola Field.
Clarke MacArthur To Return Tonight (Tuesday, April 4) From Injury -
After missing all but four games of last season with a concussion, Clarke MacArthur was ready to get back to work for 2016-2017 NHL season. In an unfortunate event in training camp, however, MacArthur took a hit from Sens prospect Patrick Sieloff, and was taken off with his concussion re-aggravated. After failing the baseline test earlier in the season, and being shut down by the Sens in January, MacArthur’s journey to recovery has been an emotional roller coaster. After going as far as trying out retirement, MacArthur’s game tonight will be his first since October 2015, a total of 539 days. Although there may be concerns about the long term consequences of possibly taking another big hit, it’s worth remembering all the medical professionals that had to clear MacArthur before tonight. Welcome back Clarke!

Senators Forward Clarke MacArthur played his first game since sustaining a concussion October 14, 2015.
"I wasn't sure I was going to get back," the 31-year-old said. "It's great to get back with the guys. Obviously it's a big win, so it's nice.
I wanted to play … the hurdles to get over everything ... very thankful for the organization to give me a chance to get back."
Mark Stone @MStoner61 - What an awesome feeling looking down the bench and seeing Clarke back playing. One of the best people I've met playing hockey.
@Chris_Wideman - Awesome having Clarke back on the ice last night. Incredible teammate and person.

Toronto - Cory Conacher sat tucked away in the corner of the Air Canada Centre visitor’s dressing room. Beside him, the rock blaring from the speakers almost drowned him out. But one thing rang louder than the sound of the Red Hot Chili Peppers - Cory Conacher’s smile. The Toronto native was called up for his first NHL game since February 23. The center has played just eight NHL games this season after having spent last season with Bern SC in the Swiss League and the majority of 2016-2017 with the AHL’s Syracuse Crunch.
Now the 27-year-old is now part of the cavalry of sorts, a group of players that have been tasked with stepping in for a host of injured Tampa Bay Lightning players and completing an insurmountable job - winning out for the rest of the season and getting the Lightning into the playoffs, against all odds. And Conacher couldn’t be happier.
Rest Of The Article - https://www.si.com/nhl/2017/04/06/c...nhl-level-lightning?xid=socialflow_twitter_si
Update - Cory Conacher had two assists last night in the Tampa Bay Lightning win over the Montreal Canadiens.
The win kept the Lightning from being eliminated in the race for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot.

LaxSabre - Ugh, those multi-picture tweets never show up good here - the way they do when you see the regular tweet posted.
(Bill's tweet had all four pictures complete and not chopped up like its shown here.)
Edit - Bill's tweet made it sound like Stauber played for the Beauts - Opps!
Bill meant Robb played with current Beauts head coach Craig Muni while both were members of the Buffalo Sabres.
The Beauts had two players on the United States Gold Medal Winning Team - Emily Pfalzer and Megan Bozek. Congrats to Stauber/Pfalzer/Bozek on winning GOLD! USA! USA! USA!

USA Hockey is going with a collaborative approach for selecting this year’s roster for the World Hockey Championships.
The National Team Advisory Group (led by USA Hockey’s Jim Johannson) was announced on Monday and included a pair of former NHLers now in managerial roles - Bill Guerin who is currently the assistant GM in Pittsburgh and Chris Drury who serves the same role for the New York Rangers.
The National Team Advisory Group also includes NHL general managers Stan Bowman (Chicago Blackhawks), Dean Lombardi (Los Angeles Kings), David Poile (Nashville Predators), and Ray Shero (New Jersey Devils), along with Florida Panthers President of Hockey Operations Dale Tallon and Carolina Hurricanes President Don Waddell.
Bill Guerin, 46, retired from playing in 2010 and moved immediately into hockey ops. He spent three years as the Penguins’ developmental coach before transitioning to front office work in 2014. Chris Drury, 40, wrapped up his career in 2011, only to circle back with the Rangers four years later as the director of player development and last summer was promoted to work under GM Jeff Gorton.

@usahockey - United States Management Team Set For 2017 IIHF Men's World Championship - http://teamusa.usahockey.com/news_article/show/779624?referrer_id=695820
Hockey Canada Names Ron Hextall General Manager Of 2017 IIHF World Championship Team - Sean Burke, Scott Salmond, Larry Carrière Round Out Management Group.
The first pieces are in place as Canada’s National Men’s Team looks to three-peat at the 2017 IIHF World Championship in Paris, France, and Cologne, Germany.
Ron Hextall (Brandon, Manitoba/Philadelphia-NHL) returns to the management staff, this time as general manager of Canada’s National Men’s Team. Hextall was a member of the management group at the 2014 IIHF World Championship, and competed as a player at the 1992 IIHF World Championship.

In 2005 he took a role as pro scout for the Washington Capitals before joining Montreal.

@ByMHarrington - Bisons back home next week and a must-see trip is to the Hall of Fame Room by Section 107 for new exhibit on the Aud.
The Aud exhibit in Bisons Hall of Fame Room is currently scheduled to be up into July. Definitely worth a pre-game trip.
Pat Malacaro (@PatWGR) - I can second that. And be sure to check out Bisons website in the near future for webisodes from the room if you cannot make it to the ballpark.

Haha the Ennis vs Hodgson debate...where even the "winners" of the argument still lost as Ennis has become a bottom 6 forward at best. I guess at least Ennis is still in the NHL. When we first acquired Hodgson I never would have thought that less then 5 years later he'd be out of the league.
The first three goals in this afternoons Boston-Ottawa playoff game were all scored by Sabres Alumni.
Drew Stafford and Tim Schaller have goals for Boston while Clark McArthur has the goal for Ottawa.
Schaller goal was shorthanded while MacArthur goal was via the power-play.
Update - Schaller goal was all ex-Buffalo Sabre as Dominic Moore had the lone assist on the shortie!
@ByMHarrington - Everyone in hockey should be pleased to see Clarke MacArthur on the ice again and scoring a goal. Great guy. #Sabres #Sens
@Citizenkwarren - MacArthur's first goal since April 19, 2015.
@ByMHarrington - Who said #Sabres missed the playoffs? Stafford - MacArthur - Schaller have the goals in Ottawa. 2-1 Bruins over Senators.
@Senators - LOVELY puck movement down low and MacArthur ROOFS it over Rask on the power play to even things at 1-1. #ALLIN

At the time it looked as even as possible. I liked kassian more but we were trading for a future center when we had foligno already.
I have always been a huge kassian fan and always will be. Good for him.

Did you ever want a game-worn Paul Szczechura game worn 40th Anniversary Sabres Jersey? How about Joe Finley or - erp- VILLE LEINO? Or maybe you thought you missed your chance for the Mike Funk Buffaslug Home? There are also TWO Mike Weber game-worn current homes, or a Maxim Buffaslug. Lots of cool items - though the Eichel St. Patrick's Day warmup is the top bid getter right now.

That John Scott jersey should be going for a lot more, he is an ASG MVP after all.
Heres the tweet from the Buffalo Sabres promoting that jersey auction that Dingo was talking about two posts ago.
