The Penguins hired Kyle Dubas as their president of hockey operations, the team announced Thursday. Dubas spent the past five seasons as the Maple Leafs’ general manager but parted ways with the team on May 19.
Another big decision for Dubas will be whether to keep, trade or extendThis is a huge win for FSG. Dubas was clearly the guy for the Penguins, who went through weeks of GM interviews before hiring Dubas as president of hockey operations. They still need a GM, but in Dubas, FSG gets an executive whose traits remind the ownership group of Theo Epstein.— YoheDubas and the team’s yet-to-be-hired GM have less than a month to prepare for the NHL Draft and the unrestricted free agency period.
There are buyout candidates. There are bad contracts. There are trade candidates. There are uncertain futures for a few players, namely Tristan Jarry. There will be around $20 million in cap space.— Yohe“We are thrilled to welcome Kyle to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
“His passion for the sport and ability to foster collaborative relationships with his staff, coaches and players is the type of leadership style that will undoubtedly resonate with the front office and set us on a new path for success in the near term with our current championship-caliber core and beyond with a commitment to sustainable, long-term success.”The Maple Leafs reached the Stanley Cup playoffs in each of Dubas’ five seasons as GM, but they won only one playoff round.
