Former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas will continue taking on the role with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager will continue taking on that role with the Pittsburgh Penguins, along with his duties as team president.Dubas was hired as president of the Penguins, but assumed the vacant role of general manager as the team searches for a suitable replacement – which has yet to be found, apparently.
“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,” Dubas said in a statement. “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. We have a small but extremely dedicated management team here, and I have come to know each of them quite well over the last couple of months.
Dubas was let go by the Leafs in June after the team opted to not offer him a contract extension. He had been with the franchise for nine seasons and had ascended to the role of general manager in 2018. Though his Leafs teams enjoyed a lot of regular-season success, they could only muster one playoff series win during his tenure.
The Penguins also announced that Amanda Kessel, an Olympic gold medallist as a player and sister of NHL star Phil Kessel, has been named special assistant to president of hockey operations and GM. Former Penguins defenceman Trevor Daley also was promoted to the same role.
