oiler99 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 The Columbus Blue Jackets didn't waste any time on finding a new GM, as they announced the hiring of Jarmo Kekalainen today. He has previously been the amateur scouting director for St. Louis Blues, drafting Vladimir Tarasenko, T.J. Oshie and Alex Pietrangelo among others. He was also the chief scout in Ottawa where he drafted the likes of Jason Spezza. So this guy knows how to build a successful team via draft. He is also solely responsible for bringing Teuvo Teräväinen into the Finnish Elite League. I'm pretty proud to be a Finn on a day like this. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=415882 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConcreteCharlie Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I knew they would hire him as soon as Howson got the axe. They have three first rounders this year. They cannot blow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
