The Pittsburgh Penguins announced a flurry of promotions within their front office on Thursday, which included the appointment of Kyle Dubas as general manager.
Dubas was hired as the Penguins' president of hockey operations in June, and was conducting the search for a new general manager before ultimately assuming the position himself.
"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 via the team's website.
"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.
