Sabres Name Marc Bergevin Associate GM, Add Josh Flynn to Front Office

The hires give Jarmo Kekäläinen experienced lieutenants to drive Buffalo’s hockey-operations overhaul.

Overview

  • The team announced Sunday that Bergevin will serve as associate GM and Josh Flynn was appointed assistant GM.
  • Saturday’s moves included firing Jason Karmanos, who had been associate GM and GM of the AHL Rochester Americans.
  • Bergevin becomes Kekäläinen’s top adviser after serving as a senior adviser with the Kings and nearly a decade as Canadiens GM.
  • Flynn, a former Columbus aide specializing in cap management and contracts, takes a similar role in Buffalo.
  • With Karmanos out, the team said assistant GM Mark Jakubowski’s responsibilities will likely shift toward overseeing Rochester, while Jerry Forton remains in charge of amateur scouting.
