One of the better American Goalies in recent memory, Ryan Miller was a three-time CCHA Goalie of the Year at Michigan State, and the undrafted Spartan signed with the Buffalo Sabres, who he debuted for in 2002.

In 1970, the Buffalo Sabres took Gilbert Perreault with the First Overall Pick.  The year after, Buffalo had the number five pick, and they would take another native of Quebec, and soon-to-be linemate (and junior teammate), Rick Martin.

The man who was almost number one on this list was the first ever player drafted by the Buffalo Sabres, who took him number one overall in 1970.

We can understand if you think we should have gone with Gilbert Perreault for this spot, but after reading this, you may see why we chose Dominik Hasek.
