Chicago Blackhawks assistant general manager Norm Maciver is a “strong candidate” to take the next step in his post-playing career and become the general manager of the Buffalo Sabres, according to Chuck Gormley.
The Sabres cleaned house by firing coach Dan Bylsma and GM Tim Murray on Thursday in the wake of another disappointing season. The team finished last in the Atlantic Division with a 33-37-12 record, held down by an offense that was 25th in goals scored.
Maciver, 52, would be getting his first NHL GM job if he beats out the other candidates in Buffalo.
