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 next 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), Goalie Point Shares (15.3), and he was a Second Team All-Star finishing fourth in Hart voting.

A lot of the success of the Buffalo Sabres can be claimed by their netminder, Don Edwards.  Edwards was twice named a Second Team All Star (1978 & 1980), the second of which was a Vezina Trophy winning campaign (along with Bob Sauve).
