33. John Van Boxmeer

A good two-way player, Van Boxmeer had 51 Points in his first year in Sabres blue, and he had a career-high 9.9 Point Shares.  He improved that production with 69 and 68 Points over the next two years, which was his best two-year run.  His output dropped to 27 Points in 1982-84, and Van Boxmeer suddenly became expendable.

Van Boxmeer’s tenure with the Sabres when the team waived, and he was picked up by Quebec, where he played one final NHL year.  With the Sabres, he finished in the top ten in Defensive Point Shares twice and had 215 Points over 294 Games.
