Fire the cannon. The Columbus Blue Jackets just announced that they've let go of their GM, Jarmo Kekäläinen. It's a tough decision, especially since he's been with the team for 12 seasons.
The team's performance hasn't been up to par lately, sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. John Davidson, the president of hockey operations, mentioned that although they have faith in the team's future, they need a fresh perspective moving forward.
Kekäläinen has been at the helm since 2013, leading the team to the playoffs several times, but they've only made it past the first round once. Looks like Columbus is aiming for a turnaround after missing the playoffs for a few consecutive seasons now.
