Rene Robert

Part of the legendary French Connection, it was an easy decision to place Robert on this list. A journeyman during the initial and latter portions of his career, Robert found a home with the Buffalo Sabres for eight seasons.

During his time wowing crowds at the old Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, Robert accumulated 552 points in just 524 games, good for 1.05 points per game. His best season came in 1974-75, when he recorded 100 points in 80 games.

It was a career season for Robert, who also logged a career-high 15.2 shooting percentage en route to one of his two NHL All-Star games. He also received NHL All-Star Team honors that season.

Following his eight-season stint in Buffalo, Robert played for the Colorado Rockies and Toronto Maple Leafs. He became a member of the Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame in 1989, the same season the Sabres inducted his French Connection line mates.
