Taken in the Third Round of the 1971 Draft, Defenseman Bill Hajt would play his entire career with the team that took him, the Buffalo Sabres.

Drafted in the middle of the 1975 Draft, Goalie Don Edwards first made the Sabres roster in the 1976-77 Season, where he played in 25 Games.  The following season, Edwards was the top guy in between the pipes for Buffalo and was emerging in the upper tier of Goalies.  That year, Edwards led the NHL in Wins (38), Minutes Played (4,206), and Goalie Point Shares (15.3), and he was a Second Team All-Star, finishing fourth in Hart voting.

The owner of one of the best names in sports, Miroslav Satan, played 14 years in the NHL, eight of which with the Buffalo Sabres, where he had the best part of his career.

One of the first real hockey stars from Austria, Thomas Vanek, made history as the first Austrian to be taken in the top five when the Buffalo Sabres chose him with the 5^th Overall Pick in the 2003 Draft.
