A late Second Round Pick in 2001, Jason Pominville made the Sabres roster in 2005, where he would rise in the ranks to become one of Buffalo’s top forwards.

Pominville had his breakthrough season in 2006-07 with a 34 Goal/68 Point season, and he continued to be one of Buffalo’s top scorers over the next five years. The American Right Wing scored 80 Points in 2007-08 and was third in Lady Byng voting, An All-Star in 2012, Pominville never had less than 50 Points six years in a row and had Selke votes in three of them. The Sabres traded Pominville to Minnesota during the 2012-13 season, but this would not be the last time Pominville skated for Buffalo.

The Wild traded Pominville back to Buffalo in 2017, where he would play two more seasons before retiring. Pominville scored 521 Points as a Sabre.
