Confirmed with Link: Kyle Dubas named President of Hockey Operations

[TheGoldenJet]

Mitch Marner?

He's a cutie too

He looks like the Sherminator…Shmarminator.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Too much Sullivan sweet talk. Ugh.

TBH if Dubas builds a team that fits Sully we can compete. Hex filled the roster with garbage.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

re: Sullivan... honestly I'm close to the point of fatigue even complaining about him. I hate to handwave it but it's just best to hope he figures things out and goes into next season with energy and a willingness to think around some corners instead of plowing headlong into them.

Sullsma has the Bylsma gene.

Plowing headlong into corners is his way.

You know this, Willy.

I have the most optimism I've had in probably four years now. Should be a very active and inspiring summer.

Auroa Bora wallows in Misery though. If we pray alot maybe EGod will heal him from Colorado

Welcome to Pittsburgh. Five years of doing absolute shit has not been fun.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Huh, couple years ago this would have never crossed my mind

 

[metalan2]

Dubas is the man. Did a 180 after the press conference.

So does this mean a GM is going to be hired to work under him or is he doing it all?…

thank god this is done

He's doing it all. Anyone who is hired as GM will be second in command.

It would be funny if this team went from the GM having basically total control for decades while president/AGM positions are decidedly farrrrrrr down the totem pole to the exact opposite, eh?

Maybe POHO is the "new GM."

 

[Andy99]

Lol

Shane O'Brien is on NHL radio. Question was, is Kyle Dubas the guy you let run your organization? he said no. He would have let Hextall and Burke stay another year and go from ther…..

A Healthy FO we have no definition of so we don't know how to react.

Must be a Flyers fan

 

[Empoleon8771]

Sounds like most are expecting Spezza to join as well.

 

[TheBigFour]

leaf fan coming in peace...Ignore the fellow salty leaf fans. you guys got a good one.

Some leafs fan just disliked him since day one he was hired because he was "young, progressive and was into analytics". Almost of all his moves as a GM always had some kind logic or thinking which you can understand and agree. Obviously not every move worked out but you can have trust in him unlike other former GMs ( cough Brian burke).

As an outsider, I hope pens start an rebuild soon. Dubas and the new GM could make it interesting. I really want to see what dubas can do in a rebuild when he has full power.

We appreciate you.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

Oof. Do not want.

The refs hate Bunting, he has a Matt Cooke level rep with them and can’t draw calls anymore to save his life. He is also not very good (lost his top 6 role to Knies the rook in the playoffs).

Seems younger and better to me

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Seems younger and better to me

I want Zucker gone as much as the next guy (more, actually), but we can do better than a Bunting for the top 6.

 

[eXile3]

Love this. He'll bring in someone of similar philosophy for GM. Will be the polar opposite of the Burke, Hextall hires.

Sounds like Jason spezza is going to be involved. Not sure what capacity maybe assistant general manager? And then from there we'll see if KD fills the general manager position or, just kind of keeps himself as such for a while longer.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

If Dubas hired Tulsky now that'd be amazing.
Assuming that FSG told him his services won't be wanted here and it's too late though.

He wasn't getting the job that Dubas got

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Wonder if Dubas has his eye on what Treliving does with Pridham.

He worked with him for four years and Pridham was their transition GM while they were interviewing to replace Dubas.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Just wondering if giving Dubas the power to choose his own man now can get him back into the mix.
