Bruins hire Kevyn Adams on anniversary of his drafting
Summary

The Boston Bruins announced the addition of Kevyn Adams to their front office on June 26, 2026, marking 33 years since they drafted him in the first round of the 1993 NHL Draft. The Bruins did not specify Adams' role in the organization. This decision follows Adams' dismissal as the general manager of the Buffalo Sabres earlier in December after a struggling start to the 2025-26 season. The Sabres would go on to finish on top of the Atlantic Division and make their first Stanley Cup playoffs appearance since 2011. Bruins GM Don Sweeney recently indicated he would seek external candidates to enhance the team's hockey operations department.
