LGR4GM

Seems overly simplistic to label it like that. Kekäläinen has more front office experience than Murray times 7.

Kekäläinen has a Bachelor's from Clarkson and a Master's in Econ from Tampere Univ. He's served in hockey front office since 1995 and in NHL front office almost nonstop since 1999. Looks like the only break is when he was GM of Jokerit in the Liiga (2010-2012) before becoming GM of Columbus in 2012.

I'm sure it's buried in this thread but Kekäläinen is the most experienced GM ever hired under Pegula by decades of experience.

I feel like the Sabres wasn't a pat on the back for doing what they should have in April.

Preaching to the choir. I still wonder if that little stretch convinced ppl like Appert and the players that that was the way to go. Just get it to a one timer at the dots.

This team will never make the playoffs with their goaltending. They'd need a massive defensive turn around to the tune of 14% reduction in goals against.

1 team just fired their GM. It's really too much to ask them to stfu about Allen puking for 15 min and not take Bob in Tonawandas call until next segment?

Kevyn Adams got the gm job by being buddy buddy with Terry and agreeing to fire all the ppl Botteril refused to fire.

Adams exits with a 178-196-42 record as GM. That leaves him with a 0.428win% 🤢🤮

So glad WGR can't pivot at all. Instead just more Bills talk like the morning, afternoon, now.

I dont agree. Jarmo is from outside as of May 30th. wtf does that mean?

I'm sorry but what "extensive search" is Terry talking about in his statement? They clearly brought in Jarmo this offseason with the plan that if it didn't work, Kevyn would be replaced by him.

Weird but not interested in that currently. The most important question is does Jarmo actually have the power to make substantive changes or is he restricted to making trades and roster management? How much approval must Pegula give him before he does something like trade Tuch or fix the goalie debacle? If he is still tied to Terry's whims, how much change will we really see? I only respect front office personnel who have long tales about going incognito to Buffalo bars to get the laymans feel for the state of the team.
