This week’s big trade that saw the Carolina Hurricanes acquire the biggest rental on the market (for the second year in a row) had me turn for a quick moment back to less than two years ago. Current Carolina GM Eric Tulsky interviewed with the Penguins in May 2023 after Pittsburgh fired Ron Hextall (he interviewed twice, even). We would have liked the bold move to give a full GM job to a first time but clearly successful and whip-smart person. The Pens didn’t stray far from that aisle when they eventually hired Kyle Dubas, who in some ways was a “Tulsky with a track record” type of candidate.
