Every team needs a good puck moving defenceman, and he was one of the best

with the 65th pick overall

Defenceman 1: Phil "The Thrill" Housley


Regarded as one of the best American born defenceman, he was drafted 6th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in 1982 straight out of high school.
He is the highest scoring American born defenceman, and until Nov 7, 2007, when Mike Modano passed him, he was the highest scoring American born player, with 1,232 points (338G, 894A)

Housley does hold one dubious NHL record, that being the most career games played without winning the stanley cup at 1,339.

unfortunately I cant seem to view houlseys player page on the legends of hoceky site, so I cant post about the team records housley holds for both the sabres and jets...Ill try to update later
