About this episode
Jarmo Kekalainen joined Cam and Strick to talk about his historic climb as a hockey executive. From a successful tenure managing teams in Finland to being among the top amateur scouts in the world, to breaking barriers and becoming the first European General Manager in the history of the NHL, Jarmo was put together quite the resume. Kekalainen has an extensive draft history from his days in St. Louis that's carried over to his time as GM of the Columbus Blue Jackets. What challenges does he face in Columbus? Was he expecting John Davidson to bolt for NY, and which draft puck is he most proud of? Did he have any chance of keeping Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky? Plus his thoughts on selecting Erik Johnson first overall back in 2006. A side of Jarmo Kekäläinen you'll rarely hear, check it out on the Cam and Strick Podcast.
