Today in NYR History August 8, 1927:
Defenseman Bill Gadsby is born in Calgary, Alberta. Gadsby comes to the NHL as a 19-year-old with the Chicago Black Hawks in 1946 after being signed as a free agent, is traded to the New York Rangers on Nov. 23, 1954, and is sent to the Detroit Red Wings on June 12, 1961. He plays in eight NHL All-Star Games, is selected as a First-Team All-Star three times and a Second-Team All-Star four times, and ends his career with 130 goals and 568 points in 1,248 games during 20 seasons in the NHL. The only thing that eludes him is playing on a Stanley Cup-winning team; he gets to the Final three times with Detroit without success. Gadsby is inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1970
