Afinogenov debuted for Buffalo in 1999, and the Right Wing scored 34 Points as a rookie. He played for the Sabres for the next nine seasons, and after providing respectable mid-line production for a few years, he had back-to-back 60-Point-plus years (73 & 61) in 2005-06 & 2006-07, where Afinogenov was one of the best offensive players for Buffalo.
He slumped afterward and departed for Atlanta in a rebound year (2009-10) before returning home to Russia to play in the KHL.
Afinogenov would give Buffalo over 500 Games and 354 Points over his ten seasons with the team.
