Senators Part Ways With AGM Ryan Bowness

May 6, 2025 at 1:46 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 3 Comments

The Senators have informed teams they won’t be keeping assistant general manager Ryan Bowness, sources tell Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia. He’s free to pursue front office vacancies elsewhere.

The son of longtime NHL head coach Rick Bowness has been with Ottawa since the 2022-23 campaign, with most of his duties revolving around managing their AHL affiliate in Belleville. He was previously a team manager and pro scout with the Thrashers/Jets from 2009 to 2016 and also with the Penguins from 2016 to 2022, spending his last three years in Pittsburgh as the team’s director of professional scouting.

He’s now got over 15 years of experience in NHL front offices, quite a high number for a 41-year-old. While he doesn’t appear to be a candidate for the Islanders’ GM vacancy, he could be a name the Kings want to talk to in their search for Rob Blake’s successor. Even if he doesn’t land that gig, he shouldn’t have much trouble finding an AGM role elsewhere as teams continue to make minor staff alterations over the summer.

The B-Sens posted a respectable 103-86-27 record over the last three seasons under Bowness’ management, but only made the Calder Cup Playoffs once in a stacked North Division. Notable trade pickups the Penguins made while Bowness was their director of pro scouting included Jason Zucker, Jeff Carter, and Rickard Rakell.

    Get fired as AGM and end up as GM elsewhere. NHL just loves recycling

    “He’s now got over 15 years of experience in NHL front offices, quite a high number for a 41-year-old.”

    Yeah, that’s one of the impacts of nepotism.

      Do you believe that nepotism is a bad thing and that this guy has held NHL jobs only because of it?
