BREAKING: Kyle Dubas Appoints Official General Manager in Pittsburgh
Kyle Dubas was hired in Pittsburgh a few months ago, and he has now made his decision on who should be the teams' GM.
Dubas Appoints Himself
Kyle Dubas has a great tenure in Toronto before signing to becoming Pittsburgh's president of hockey operations.
In the interim, he took over the duties of general manager. He has now made that interim job permanent, appointing himself as the acting general manager of the Penguins.
"At this time, I feel it is best for continuity that I formally continue in both roles as President and General Manager in the hockey operations department," said Dubas. "We will continue to reevaluate the GM position alongside all others in future off-seasons, to ensure that we are optimizing all facets of the department. We have a small but extremely dedicated management team here, and I have come to know each of them quite well over the last couple of months. We have also added both Jason Spezza and Vukie Mpofu to provide us with a nice mixture of playing experience, front office acumen, and growth potential."
This announcement came along with several other staff promotions.
