Kyper says Fenway group is hands on while MLSEL is hands off. Enjoy Kyle.

Going to be awkward when Nick Cousins shows up at the next Soo Alumni event with Dubas and Keefe there.
Would have been even more Soo related 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon separation, if former Soo goalie and Nick Cousins teammate Matt Murray was in net.

It's something he'll need to talk to the wife first...
Of course, Why wouldn't he?
Murray back to Penguins please.
Lost a lot of respect for Dubas after what he pulled off. “Toronto only”
Nice excuse with the family. Such a loser.

Court of Law?
Is that the new requirement for hockey discussion? It must be admissible as evidence in a Court of Law...
He knew he had the Pittsburgh job .good luck with there core 4
That's why Dubas says his demand of autonomy of decision appears to be "reasonable" to himself (per his public statement yesterday). If you don't give your job to me I can get it somewhere else.
He probably had his eyes on the pens' job all along (given his personal relationship with those in the organization, as many have mentioned). The last minute contractual demand is his way of quitting on Toronto, rather than a naive and idiotic negotiating move.
Perhaps even the family narrative is just to justify his decision to leave the "highly pressured" Toronto market place.

He left this place a mess, probably didn’t want to make the decisions that needed to be made. So like any weasel does, he makes lame excuses and quits.

He also gave the core 4 the middle finger on his way out when he said everything is on the table.
Dubas will work with Sullivan and provide more analytics which the FSG wants. He met with Sid last night so he has a good idea what is what. Not the worst move after Hextall killed the Pens last year.

Well thanks to Kyle's scorched earth approach to draft picks dealt away its shouldn't be a problem. Hard to outscoup a team that has very little draft picks.
But since you brought it up, do you know Pittsburgh owns Leafs 7th rounder this year becasue Dubas traded it to Pens to acquire Jared McCann, so he could gift him to Seattle to protect Justin Holl.. There is a possiblity Kyle just traded a Leafs pick to his future self and will be making a selection with it afterall.
Certainly is beginning to look very plausible.

How this guy still has supporters is beyond me. What a scumbag. At least be honest about the process. And don't say things changed when he was let go. He knew very well at his presser that that might be a possibility.

I'm trying to recall how George Constanza's career went after intentionally getting himself fired by the Yankees.
He fuqs the organization over royally and Shanahan is made out to be the bad guy. How many buddies does Kid Kyle have in the media ?
