Kyle Dubas was the General Manager for quite some time in Toronto, and after leaving for Pittsburgh this summer, it's clear he's still got connections to some young names with the Leafs.
Talented prospects
The Pittsburgh Penguins just announced their roster for the upcoming prospect camp, and now, they've found some more names with connections to Toronto.
On their roster for the camp has now been added Pano Fimis and Avery Hayes, two talented forwards that were once prominent prospects for the Maple Leafs organization.
A rivalry brewing?
While these two teams have never been major rivals, they've never had love lost for each other, and now, given these connections and the poaching from Dubas, there's potentially a massive rivalry growing here.
As for Fimis, he is a talented forward at 19-years of age who scored 8 goals and 22 points for the Eerie Otters of the OHL a year ago, and for Hayes, he netted an impressive 36 points in 32 games for the Peterborough Petes a season ago, and with the Penguins being a veteran team, this type of youth could be a major positive for them.
