Adam Mair

Like Barnes, Mair didn’t play for the Buffalo Sabres until he already made stops elsewhere. And he was part of those unforgettable mid-2000s teams that enjoyed deep playoff runs. But because of the likes of Jason Pominville, Thomas Vanek, and Ryan Miller, to name a few, Mair often gets lost in the shuffle.

He was a fourth-liner and an enforcer on those teams, never totaling over 11 minutes of average total ice time during his seven seasons in Buffalo. While he had only 105 points with the organization, he was a well-known hitter and was not afraid to fight regardless of the situation.

That said, his most memorable career moment came when he was a member of the Los Angeles Kings when he fought Chris Neil of the Ottawa Senators. Instead of waiting for a situation when the two were together on the ice, Mair left the bench. The incident caused the NHL to suspend him for 10 games.
