The Buffalo Sabres have announced that they've extended the contract of General Manager Kevyn Adams. There wasn't a specific term on the deal, other than that it was a multi-year extension.

"Kevyn's leadership and vision over the past two seasons has proven to be invaluable, and I am confident in his ability to continue to move us forward as an organization," Sabres owner Terry Pegula said. "He is respected by players, coaches, staff, and peers around the league alike due to the poise with which he carries himself and the respect he reciprocates to every individual he encounters. He has grown in different roles throughout the organization, providing him unique perspectives that help him perform at the highest level as general manager."

Adams, 47, was named General Manager of the Buffalo Sabres in January 2020 after spending the previous decade in various different role. He initially joined the team in 2009 as a player development coach and was an assistant coach for the Sabres for two years, before moving over to the business side of things.

Pegula added, "I, along with the fans and community, am happy to see Kevyn continue to build a winning culture both on and off the ice. Additionally, I am appreciative of his communication skills and dedication to the entire organization. I am thrilled to extend Kevyn's contract and have him lead the Buffalo Sabres for several years to come."

Prior to retiring in 2008, Adams spent parts of ten seasons in the NHL with Toronto, Columbus, Florida, Carolina, Phoenix (now Arizona) and Chicago. In 2006 he won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Carolina Hurricanes.
