Confirmed with Link: It's Started! (Management firings)

[Malkinstheman]

Lebrun said that Chia and Bergevin were told theyre out last week. Also big bombshell: Lebrun says that Tulsky is out

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

Think it’s going to be either Dubas or Darche. Friedman said FSG is “looking hard” at Darche yesterday.

 

[Malkinstheman]

So down to Darche/Greeley/Karmanos maybe Botts

 

[Gurglesons]

So down to Tulsky/Greeley/Karmanos maybe Botts

Tulsky is out according to Lebrun.

 

[Pancakes]

I feel like it's Dubas if he actually wants the job. Darche if Dubas doesn't.

I have a feeling that the Pens jobs wont really be a consideration for Dubas. He'll listen to what FSG has to say but if I were him Id wait for something better

Tulsky is out according to Lebrun.

Yeah meant to write Darche

 

[Turin]

Hope it’s Dubas.

 

[66-30-33]

Damn Tulsky is gone! Dunno what Darche would do, Tampa was Yzermans job.

Yeah I think the job is Dubas’s if he wants it. If he turns it down, they go to Darche. Would be fine with either.

We get both and get run by some double Ds.

Like I keep saying he looked about the same as Rust to me in the same role.

And to hear most people tell it Rust is a perfectly fine top six player if not a downright bargain and by the end of the year was playing great hockey. I myself failed to actually see any of that this past year. But I'm kinda dumb.

But anyway by that logic Nylander is a suitable top six player. Hey... there's even more money that can be freed up for a third line center!

I mean not really lol…exaggeration..Rust had a bad first half of the season and a low shooting % and still managed to get some goals in compared to Nylander…Nylander did look better on the forecheck though

Dubas as POHO and Darche as the GM

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Dubas as POHO and Darche as the GM

I don't completely hate this on paper.

 

[Turin]

One thing that Madden brought up that is actually valid is that you need a GM who’s gonna be Sullivan and Crosby’s boss. If Dubas and Darche are the top two then that goes with that idea. Dubas fired Babcock and Darche has a lot of managerial experience.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Dubas as POHO and Darche as the GM

I don't think Dubas would go for that, I think he'd want to be both POHO and GM.

At this point, I think the job is likely Dubas' if he wants it.

Maybe he can fix our prospect pool.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

At this point I hope it's Dubas

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Maybe he can fix our ass PP.
Our inability to play after we score a goal.
Our shitty line combos.

Plenty of things for him to do for the Pens.

 

[Pens1566]

What are Darche's qualifications besides being in TB when they rode the shortened season or circumvented the cap to their cups?

Maybe he can fire our coach and maybe hire someone like BB. Also trade for Marner.

Thats my biggest worry. But he was the VP of some logistics company after hockey and prior to being hired by Tampa.

Mathieu Darche - Director of Hockey Operations

Former Lightning forward and NHL veteran MATHIEU DARCHE joined the Tampa Bay organization on May 6, 2019 as Director of Hockey Operations.

A veteran of 250 NHL games played with the Lightning, Columbus Blue Jackets, Nashville Predators, San Jose Sharks and Montreal Canadiens, Darche, 43, joins the Bolts after formally retiring as a player in 2013. He was heavily involved as part of the NHLPA negotiating committee during the 2012-13 work stoppage, also serving on the negotiating committee of the Professional Hockey Players Association for the American Hockey League's collective bargaining agreement.

After retiring as a player, Darche worked for Delmar International, a Canadian customs broker and freight forwarder with more than 1,000 employees worldwide offering complete cargo management supply chain solutions, in the position of vice president of sales and marketing. He also served five years on the board of Ronald McDonald House and six years as a television hockey analyst on RDS. Darche graduated from McGill University in Montreal in 2000 with a commerce degree, majoring in marketing and international business, and was named to the school's sports hall of fame in 2015.

Perfect, he was a 4th line plugger prior to working in marketing. My fears are gone ...
