It’s become apparent that the Penguins’ new president of hockey operations Kyle Dubas and long-time coach Mike Sullivan are working hand-in-hand to retool our favorite hockey team. Much in the same manner as Sullivan and twice-removed former GM Jim Rutherford used to do.
A far cry from the Ron Hextall era, when you got the feeling personnel decisions were made in a vacuum with little input from the coaching staff…or anyone else for that matter.
And that’s a good thing.
I think.
I’d hoped Dubas, who seemed to develop an appreciation for all types of players (including ones with a physical bent) during his tenure in Toronto, would bring those sensibilities to the task at hand in the ‘Burgh.
