The Penguins made a significant addition to their front office staff today. Doug Wilson, who enjoyed an uber-successful run as the Sharks’ GM that spanned nearly two decades, has joined the team as a senior advisor of hockey operations.
“Doug brings over 40 years of NHL experience to our program,” said president of hockey ops/GM Kyle Dubas when announcing the hire. “Over 16 years from his Hall-of-Fame playing career and over 25 seasons building consistent contending teams as the leader of the San Jose Sharks hockey operations department. Doug will serve as a source of both experience and wisdom to our entire hockey operations department.
