The Pittsburgh Penguins named former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas their new president of hockey operations Thursday.
Regarding the decision to continue his career as an NHL executive in Pittsburgh, Dubas said:
"On behalf of my family, we are thrilled to join the Pittsburgh Penguins organization and all of the incredible people across Fenway Sports Group. I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity that lies ahead of me. The ownership group, FSG leadership and the Penguins staff on the ground in Pittsburgh have been absolutely outstanding. Everyone has demonstrated a clear commitment to building a best-in-class hockey operation.
