Sabres Reinforce Front Office with Key Promotions | Buffalo Sabres News

The Buffalo Sabres are shaking up their front office with major promotions and new hires aimed at building a stronger scouting and development pipeline. Stacy Roest, a veteran of Tampa Bay’s player development and GM roles, takes the reins as director of player personnel and GM of the Rochester Americans. Tim Kennedy, a Buffalo native and former Sabres player, moves up to director of player development after five seasons as a coach. The team also brings in seasoned pros: Neil Komadoski (16 years with Vancouver) as assistant pro scouting director, Milan Lucic (Stanley Cup champ, Boston) as pro scout, Derek Dorsett (10 NHL seasons, ex-Blue Jackets coach) as forward development coach, and Jarkko Ruutu (600+ games, ex-Blue Jackets) to lead European development. This overhaul signals a serious commitment to long-term growth from the ground up.
