Show Notes

This interview is with the general manager of the Buffalo Sabres, Kevyn Adams.

Kevyn had a very successful NHL career. He played in over 500 NHL games and spent nearly 10 years playing in the best league on Earth.

After Kevyn retired, he got into the business side of the sport and has now worked his way up to becoming the General Manager for the Buffalo Sabres.

Going through a rebuild with an NHL team is no small task.

The Buffalo Sabres have not found much success over the last few seasons, however, they have a promising future.

With a team full of young talent, the Sabres are primed to turn the corner in the next season or two and begin putting together successful seasons with the ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup.

However, in order to get there, there are significant challenges and obstacles that Kevyn and the rest of the organization must overcome.

With the recent demotion of captaincy for their star forward Jack Eichel, it is now up to the rest of the young core to fill the leadership role that Jack once filled.

This episode discusses leadership, character, and what it takes to make it in the National Hockey League.
