Over 15 players have signed to the Sabres organization in the month of July, as it has become a hard job for Ben Adams, the GM and head coach of the Sabres. The other 6 NHL teams decided there would be no expansion draft from the teams, meaning the Sabres would have to sign their entire team on their own.

The most prominent signing has probably been Bobby Bauer, who many thought was retiring from the Bruins after the 46-47 season. Instead, he is staying in the league playing on the Sabres. In 46-47 he scored 30 goals on the season. He has also won 3 Lady Byng Trophies as the most gentlemanly player in the league.

Ben Adams, who hails from Morgantown, West Virginia, and graduated from West Virginia University, not a Canadian like most people in hockey, is hoping to carve a new path. Adams has spent some time in Canada in his playing and coaching career. After moving to Canada, he also served in the Canadian Army for a time during WWII.
