Was there about a year ago.  Now, just want him out.  Him and Forton.  Let Kekalainen be the POHO and interim GM.  Figure out who the next coach should be before this season ends and hire a real GM in the spring/summer.

Since its Christmas can we hope that he has come to an agreement with Brendan Shanahan or someone with credibility? I mean Christmas miracle's and all...

Why can't a GM make those decisions on his OR her own? 

we're talking about Kevyn right??

depends on the GM... situations with a relatively novice GM could certainly benefit from a POHO.

Maybe my going to see David Byrne was a positive omen.  

Hahaha.  That was our theme song in college... our fraternity had a fire and yes, we were Burning Down the House!

Is a GM with five years' experience still a novice GM?

His sources are saying this is the end for Adams 

What changed after the Edmonton win? Are they going to give him more time if he wins again?

Terry is so happy with how well the 3 goalie rotation is working that he's going to hire a 3rd GM to work alongside Adams and Jarmo.

Staal is already #3.

Prediction and I hope I’m wrong.

POHO: Jarmo (remote)

GM: Karmanos (remote)

Hockey Ops unchanged with some additional emphasis on analytics.  
Coaching staff finishes the year.  
 

 

Jarmo is already in Buffalo daily. Why be remote if promoted?

If he gets Ws today and Sunday, those 2 wins combined with Edmonton cover him for the Monday-Wednesday off days. Then it all comes down to Philly. A win gets him through the off day, then he’s got the islanders.

its a back to back, so he can recoup some ground with a win vs the devils the next day, keeping an extra “24 hours” in his back pocket 

gotta play the game but it can be done

I’ve heard from Fairburn that Jarmo is around a lot and that’s good.  But it was noteworthy that Jarmo said he wasn’t relocating to Buffalo for his role as Advisor when he was hired. So maybe I’m taking an unfair shot.

If this happens I will have a beer or two tonight while watching the game. I rarely drink but this will be a special occasion.

The outcome of the game will not matter to me because KA would be gone.

I can see Jarmo as interim GM because TP wants to evaluate him some more before doing a thorough GM search. This would suck because Jarmo might be gun shy to do any big moves.

I would bring in DeBoer before anyone else poaches him. Lindy can stick around in an advisory position. DeBoer can bring in anyone he wants. Every assistant needs to go.

We are far enough from the draft that Forton can kick rocks. Karmanos can stay for now.

Anyone who could have leaked that Adams firing is imminent would surely have to be part of a very small group involved in discussing it with Pegula. And if that's the case, you'd have to think the decision has already been made and the press conference scheduled. 

So, I'm not buying it.
