Jason Botterill is reportedly giving one of his old coworkers a significant role within his new organization.

Randy Sexton will be leaving the Pittsburgh Penguins to join the Buffalo Sabres as assistant general manager, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Sexton will also serve as GM of the Sabres' AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans.

He's been with the Penguins since 2010, becoming the team's sole amateur scouting director in 2015. Botterill worked with the Penguins for nearly a decade beginning in 2007 before being hired as Sabres GM last month.

Sexton has NHL GM experience of his own, having previously occupied that position with both the Ottawa Senators and the Florida Panthers.
