On this day in Buffalo Sabres history: February 3, 1993.
Exactly twenty-three years ago today, then-Buffalo Sabres GM Gerry Meehan completed a five-piece trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The trade sent Dave Andreychuk, Daren Puppa and the Sabres’ first-round draft pick in 1993 to Toronto.
In exchange, the Buffalo Sabres picked up netminder Grant Fuhr and the Maple Leafs’ fifth-round pick in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft.
So – how did this trade work out?
Andreychuk was a former first-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres, drafted by the team over a decade prior, 16th overall in 1982.
