The Buffalo Sabres announced the firing of general manager Jason Botterill on Tuesday and named Kevyn Adams as his replacement.
Team owners Terry and Kim Pegula said in a statement:
"This morning, we informed Jason Botterill he will no longer be the General Manager of the Sabres. This decision was made after many candid discussions with Jason during a full review of our hockey operation. We recognized we have philosophical differences regarding how best to put ourselves in a position to compete for a Stanley Cup. So, we decided to make this change.
