Former Sabres Winger And GM Gerry Meehan Dies At 79

The Sabres are mourning a name that mattered in more than one role, and Meehan’s death closes the book on a career that reached both the ice and the front office. He was part of the organization as a winger before eventually becoming GM, which gives this one a little more weight than your standard obituary. In a league that loves to move fast and forget yesterday, Meehan is the kind of figure Buffalo still has to file under important history.
