The Buffalo Sabres shake up their front office by replacing GM Kevyn Adams with Jarmo Kekäläinen, pursue star defenseman Quinn Hughes, and surge on the ice with a three‑game win streak and a strong Western road trip.

The Buffalo Sabres announced Monday afternoon that longtime general manager Kevyn Adams has been relieved of his duties, effective immediately. Senior advisor Jarmo Kekäläinen will take over the role, team owner Terry Pegula confirmed in a press release.

The Buffalo Sabres officially kicked off training camp this week with a 61-man roster featuring 32 forwards, 21 defensemen, and eight goaltenders all fighting for spots on opening night.
