Less than two weeks after officially being let go by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Kyle Dubas is set to re-emerge in Pittsburgh this week. Almost immediately after news broke that he was out in Toronto, the Penguins and their ownership Fenway Sports Group were all over reaching out to Dubas about a position with the Pens.
After a few days of considering his options and future, Dubas has agreed to jump in with the Penguins as the President of Hockey Operations.
Welcome to Pittsburgh, Kyle Dubas!

The fit makes sense for what FSG sought: Dubas was the Toronto GM from 2018-23, prior to that he was an assistant in Toronto and built a championship winning team.
