from the Columbus Blue Jackets,
The Columbus Blue Jackets have relieved Jarmo Kekalainen of his duties as general manager of the National Hockey League club, President of Hockey Operations and Alternate Governor John Davidson announced today. Davidson, along with the team’s hockey operations management team, will assume general manager’s duties while the club goes through the process of hiring a replacement.
Media availability with Davidson will be streamed live on the Blue Jackets’ YouTube page at 11:30 a.m. ET today and will be recorded and posted afterwards on BlueJackets.com.
“This is one of the hardest days I have had in my career as Jarmo is a friend, someone I have a great deal of respect for and someone who has done a lot of good things during his time here,” said Davidson. “While the future of our club is bright, our performance has not been good enough and it is time for a fresh perspective as we move forward.”
surprised that Davidson wasn't canned as well. he oversaw the whole BJ disaster.
I agree. In my opinion Davidson is a moron who should never have been given the job in the first place.
Davidson always seemed low rent to me. Anyone who goes from broadcasting to front office makes me wonder. You werent good enough for the job in the first place? Set your watch for Keith Jones to wash out too.
