The Buffalo Sabres got great value out of their Ninth Round Pick of the 1989 Draft, Donald Audette, whose grit not only earned him onto the parent club but a spot for years as mid-line Right Wing.

Donald Audette’s stay with the Atlanta Thrashers was a brief one as he played less than 100 games for the team.  Still, this is a player who average over a point per game in Atlanta and was the franchise’s All Star representative in 2001.  That season saw him record his highest goal output (34) although he was traded late that year to Buffalo.
