Sabres Hire New GM
|
Officially the Buffalo Sabres have signed a new GM. With Van Rossum opting not to take the option on the final year of his contract, fans were left wondering who would continue the rebuild. That question has been answered; GM Renney will be taking the reigns. Renney has no experience playing hockey at any level, nor has he ever been involved in professional or even competitive leagues. He hasn't even played online fantasy. When asked about this he answered sheepishly, "I started a small road hockey league in elementary school, does that count? How 'bout EA NHL? He cites a love of hockey, a lifelong following of the sad existence of the Vancouver Canucks and an unfulfillable dream as the main reasons for becoming an EHEC GM.
Having missed the playoffs for the last 5 years, and 13 of the last 14, initial reactions from Sabres fans were positive until they realized their new GM has no experience in a league with other humans. We took to the streets of downtown Buffalo to get some reactions.
"I can't figure out why Pegula keeps hiring GM's with no prior experience. There were better options. Botterill from Seattle, Mellanby from Florida? Heck, even a guy like Mike Gillis? He was great in Vancouver."
