[Buffalo News] Inside the NHL: It’s time to say farewell to Kevyn Adams and put Jarmo Kekalainen in charge of Sabres

  1. I been wanting Peguala to fire Adams for a couple of years now (but shouldn’t have been hired to begin with) but Jarmo does little for me.

  2. >It’s time. In fact, we all know it’s long past time. Everybody seems to know except Terry Pegula.

    >But if the Buffalo Sabres’ absentee owner gives a single damn anymore about his hockey team, he has a simple task ahead to prove it to his tormented fans.

    >Once the Bills’ game at New England is over, Pegula needs to come back to Buffalo and take care of the business that is so overdue, folks around the NHL are simply wondering when it’s going to happen.

    >Sunday night’s game in Seattle should be Kevyn Adams’ finale as the Sabres’ general manager. No later than Tuesday, senior adviser Jarmo Kekalainen should take over as GM. At least on an interim basis for the rest of the season, and perhaps just full-bore heading into Thursday’s home game against Philadelphia.

  3. Not only say goodbye to Adams but have Pegula step down from hockey ops and name Jarmo president of hockey ops.

  4. Why is Jarmo the absolutely best option? It’s time to hire someone who doesn’t already work here and fix this embarrassing org. 

  5. The Sabres desperately need to clean house and actually interview GM candidates instead of picking the guy HIRED BY ADAMS that only had one good season to his name

  6. Personally, I don’t think the name matters as much as having the balls to tell Pegula to keep his grubby hands off team operations. If Terry won’t sell the team, then hiring this kind of GM is the next best thing to happen. It does the team no good if the next GM will be just another yes-man.

  10. Jarmo ain’t perfect, but he game the most irrelevant franchise in the league columbus its best years

  11. As a Buffalo native in Columbus, Jarmo is hit or miss in the 1st round but an absolute unit in the later rounds (Marchenko 3rd, Gavrikov 6th, Bjorkstrand 3rd, Voronkov 4th, Nutivaara 7th), and tends to have great trades when he doesn’t have the biggest FA fish fall in his lap prompting him to try and prematurely accelerate a retool
