Lightning Round: Purge sweeps across Buffalo Sabres organization

On Tuesday, the Buffalo Sabres basically fired everybody. Terry and Kim Pegula started the day relieving GM Jason Botterill of his duties, effective immediately, then went forward culling the rest of the organization that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2011 (the year the Pegulas bought the team) with new GM Kevyn Adams in charge as GM (not interim).

When I say everyone was fired from the Buffalo Sabres, I mean everyone. Even I was let go somehow!? Jokes aside, the main areas of the business that faced firings was the Amateur Scouting department, the AHL Rochester Americans.
