Their latest interviewee is Columbus Blue Jackets assistant GM Bill Zito, who reportedly met with the Sabres on Saturday, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN. The interview was also reported by Aaron Portzline of the Post-Dispatch.

Zito was named AGM of the Blue Jackets in August 2013. According to the team, Zito is responsible for contract negotiations, scouting and player evaluation, salary cap management and budgeting, and serving as GM of the AHL's Lake Erie Monsters.
