Madden is a huge wrestling fan and worked for WCW for years. His persona is a character he’s been playing for decades. I’ve met him in person and he’s way different.

It almost sounds as if KD intends to challenge idiot Sullivan’s authority and roster control decisions.

It’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it pays off for him.

KD is the boss, Sullivan is now a gnat in the schema things. Let's just be very clear who's in charge now.

His ambiguity was nauseating! You never knew from one day to the next where he stood or how he felt.
 
Save Spot for Dubas at Penguins' Draft Table - Pittsburgh Hockey Now

Kyle Dubas will be at the Pittsburgh Penguins’ table during the NHL Draft later this month in Nashville.

That won’t necessarily come across as a revelation, considering that he is the team’s newly minted president of hockey operations and interim general manager.

Someone holding those positions would be the logical choice to preside over the selection of young players who could have a significant impact on the success — or lack thereof — that the franchise has in coming years.

There was no guarantee it would be that simple, however.

A Penguins official confirmed Monday that Toronto, which fired Kyle Dubas as general manager last month, imposed no conditions on him when the Penguins sought permission to discuss a job with him.

Dubas’ contract with the Maple Leafs was still in effect, which is why the Penguins had to get clearance from Toronto to speak with him.

Coincidentally enough, Dubas’ replacement with the Leafs, Brad Treliving, is operating with some restrictions imposed by Calgary, which fired him in May. His contract with the Flames was to run through the end of this month.

As part of its agreement to let Treliving talk to the Maple Leafs about the position he eventually accepted, Calgary insisted that he not have any involvement with Toronto’s draft preparations.

The rationale for such a move presumably is to assure that proprietary information an individual acquired while employed by one club does not end up being used for the benefit of another.

That is very interesting he will be involved in the draft.

Why would that even be an issue?

Of course he would be involved in the draft. He is currently the GM.

As the article said the GM not being at the draft is a unique Toronto issue, Toronto Drama, and Toronto melodrama. Calgary imposed that unique caveat to allow Toronto to interview, and eventually hire, Treliving. That's their problem.

I know that the entire hockey world revolves around Toronto, and it is more important to look at what they are doing rather than the Pens, even in Pittsburgh, but screw them and their problems.

Dubas is their history and our future.

What is going on with Toronto and Dubas, Treliving or anything else ceased being important here when they parted ways with Dubas and we hired him.

I don’t think the guy that felt like Hextall shouldn’t be judged until the 2023 deadline should talk about Hextall.
 
Biz lost his shit on the latest Chiclets pod wrg to Dubas. Literally turned his Pittsburgh fan card in on air and claims to have blocked Sid/Geno/Letang on his phone.

Turned into that idiot Kyperos for a minute there lol. Don't think this lasts but found it super strange.

He won two cups with the first GM! Sorry that’s still a passing grade in this league.

When the first defense for keeping a guy around is something he accomplished 7 years ago, and it’s something he hasn’t even come close to achieving since then, that’s not a good defense

Exactly. I don’t know many franchises that would hold onto a coach this long after any sort of success.
