It's July 14th, I'm Corey with the story. This is New York Rangers News Today, driven by AI and built for fans. John Davidson, a name synonymous with hockey for decades, has landed a new gig. He's now a senior advisor for the Buffalo Sabres, linking up again with their general manager, Jarmo Kekalainen.
These two have a history, working together for years with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Davidson's career is pretty extensive. He's been a player, a broadcaster, and an executive. He actually played for the Rangers back in the day, even making it to the Stanley Cup final in 1979
His time in broadcasting was also legendary. He spent years in the TV booth calling games for the Rangers and contributing to national broadcasts. He was there when the Rangers finally broke their 54-year Stanley Cup curse in 1994
Now he's bringing that wealth of experience to Buffalo. Kekalainen mentioned Davidson's player evaluation skills and his connections across the league as key reasons for bringing him on board. He's expected to offer guidance across the entire hockey department. This move marks another chapter for Davidson, who has seen almost every facet of the game. From playing between the pipes to analyzing from the broadcast booth and leading front offices, he's a true hockey lifer.
