Overview
- The Athletic reported that Buffalo has begun internal discussions about removing Kevyn Adams as general manager.
- Former Blue Jackets executive Jarmo Kekäläinen, hired in May as a senior advisor, is viewed as the leading internal candidate to take over.
- Kekäläinen is currently in Finland for a personal matter, a factor that could shape the timing of any transition.
- Team officials may opt to reassign Adams within the front office rather than dismiss him, reflecting his relationship with owner Terry Pegula.
- The Sabres are last in the Eastern Conference at 13-14-4, and a move soon would allow a successor to guide decisions well ahead of the March 6 trade deadline.
