Going on almost four weeks after the firings of Ron Hextall and Brian Burke, there hasn’t been a ton of information about the Penguins’ quest to replace their key front office members getting out. That’s starting to change, last week Pierre LeBrun talked about the process in the early stages of reaching out and identifying a “first wave” of candidates.
My understanding of the Penguins GM search process: they have started to reach out/ask permission on candidates. They plan on speaking to 10-12 candidates via Zoom in the first wave. Then cut it down to a short list of candidates in 2nd wave which will be in-person interviews.
