Kyle Dubas met with Pittsburgh ownership and a particular Penguins player was there with team staff.
Former Leafs GM Dubas met with Penguins Superstar
According to Taylor Hasse of DK Pittsburgh Sports, Kyle Dubas met with many Penguins personnel including Penguins captain and future Hall of Famer Sidney Crosby.
"A source with knowledge of the situation told DK Pittsburgh Sports that Dubas, an apparent finalist for the GM vacancy, was at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex for a session that extended late into Tuesday night. Sidney Crosby also was there and was believed to be among those who met with Dubas. Members of the Penguins' public relations staff also were on hand."
The Maple Leafs granted the Penguins permission to speak with Dubas which is huge for the Penguins because they can really let Dubas do what he needs to do to build a contending team.
The Penguins have players like Crosby and Evgeni Malkin still leading their team but they are aging and if they want to compete for another cup, their next GM will either have to perform wizardry or will have to trade them to a contending team.
Should the Penguins hire Dubas?
