Fun Fact: Jarmo is the first Finn-ished GM ever in the NHL.

 

[TLEH]

About two years too late but happy for Columbus fans. He was making bad decision after bad decision.

It was a given that he wouldn’t be there after this season, but I am a little surprised about the timing.

I guess in the end, it was time to fire something other than that stupid canon.

 

[LeafGrief]

I always appreciated that he went for it in a big way back in '19. Obviously didn't work in the long run, but it was gutsy and the league could use more of that.

Holy Shit! They actually did it.

Will the Jackets be open for business in time for TDL?

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Surprised he last close to this long.

 

[Rich Nixon]

bout damn time. if you have no confidence in the guy, why bother letting him handle the deadline?

 

[JaegerDice]

Guess they dint trust him to handle the TDL.

 

[Enniskillen]

They wouldn’t trust him with trades this March, that’s the main reason.

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

Davidson is still there though? Not hopeful for Columbus just yet.

 

[Coffee]

LETS GO!!!!

 

[Danarqhy]

Seravalli relishing this, dude called him the worst GM in the league just a few days ago and now Jarmo gets the boot.

 

[HockeyFan100]

It's about damn time

 

[MoreMogilny]

His time had long come. I liked his ability to make bold moves but the team has had more time too close to the basement than anything else. Next GM has a solid foundation to work with and some excellent assets

 

[Jacob]

Not a great tenure.. 1 playoff round win? And about half of his 10 seasons they missed altogether? And the roster isn't actually set up well currently.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

John Davidson can do just as much damage.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Finn-ally!

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

In the end, it was time to fire something other than that stupid canon.

Nice.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

About damn time

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Smart to not have him handle the deadline

 

[GKJ]

should’ve been fired after the Babcock fiasco
